Now is the time to speak! Council meeting this Tuesday, 8/25.
Hi all, thank you for all your support and feedback! We’re truly amazed by all the people who have reached out to us personally to share their stories and offer their help. I also want to thank those that contacted our councilmembers.
The next council meeting is this Tuesday, August 25th at 6:30PM. We need as many people as possible to speak at the meeting. This is critical to moving the ordinance forward.
The meeting is taking place on Zoom, and speakers from the public are audio-only. You can speak for up to 3 minutes, but sometimes that is reduced to 1:30 if there are a lot of speakers or a busy agenda.

In general, here are the topics we would like everyone to cover:
- This is a public health issue
- This requires attention now, especially because we’re at a higher risk of exposure while we shelter-in-place
- Share you personal stories
If you need help figuring out what to say, or you don’t feel comfortable speaking but would like us to share your story, or for any other reason, please contact us by emailing smokefreemv@gmail.com.
We have registered to speak already - we hope we can count on your support!
