Agenda

Here is how the meetings will proceed:

  1. Introductions and opening remarks (please share your name, which District you live in, and what organization you are affiliated with, if any)
  2. Coalition will give a short presentation about the legislative proposals and ask where the Council Member stands
  3. Community comment period (please feel free to write in the chat or raise your hand and share your story, reactions, or concerns at this time)
  4. Final comments from the Council Member

 

We look forward to seeing you at these meetings! Do not hesitate to reply if you have any questions.

In solidarity,

Jayla @ The Coalition for Property Tax Justice
