Civic Engagement - Guide to Speaking at City Council Meetings

Get a quick overview and insight into speaking at city council meetings, as well as guidelines for specific Eastside city meetings.

Sage Leaders

Sage Leaders cultivates deep democracy in Washington state by developing Black, Indigenous and People of Color community leaders for civic and elected leadership.

Color of Change

The Color of Change designs “campaigns powerful enough to end practices that unfairly hold Black people back, and champion solutions that move us all forward. Until justice is real.”

Advocacy Tips

Supporting communities of color and allies to speak up and take action.

Your voice matters. Check out our resources for impactful advocacy strategies.

  • Crafting emails
  • Public comment at meetings (including how to center BIPOC voices)
  • Do’s and Don’ts – Do cite the source if you use wording from others’ policy statements. Don’t commandeer language for groups not covered in the original statements.

Learn more about these tips here, and check out our CIVIC POWER resource library.
