Local advocacy plays a crucial role in shaping the policies and decisions that directly impact your daily life. By participating in the advocacy process, you can help influence decisions that will improve the quality of life in your community. But if you’ve never written an email to a City Council member or made a comment at a local County Council meeting, it can be intimidating to even know where to start.
Best practices when communicating with our City and County Council members:
Ways to advocate to local leaders:
Join a meeting: Park City Council meets every Thursday and Summit County Council meets every Wednesday. Unless otherwise stated, all meetings are open to the public and you can join in person or via Zoom. Public comment is typically taken at each meeting. See details below.
Write an email: If you want to comment on something that will be included in an upcoming meeting, be sure to send your emails the day before the meeting happens.
A very basic template to help you draft a message.
Other ways to advocate locally:
Local advocacy is a vital component of a thriving community. Remember, change often starts at the local level and your voice matters in shaping your community’s future. And don’t forget to vote! Election day for Park City Municipal and Summit County is November 21. See how Park City Council candidates answered questions about key community issues here.
