“Decisions are made by those who show up!”
Many urban planners and elected officials love this quote, because it appears to praise the American government as inclusive. We know this is not the case, but since we cannot quickly and realistically change the decision-making process, we need you to participate in it! Sending emails is a good start, but the most effective way to make sure your elected leaders know what’s important to you and your community members is to speak at public meetings. It can be very intimidating, but it’s very important!
