First, thank you all SO MUCH for adding your voice to this petition.
We are approaching 9,000 signatures in just over two weeks! To put it in perspective, the petition to make Chattanooga a National Park City garnered 5,600 signatures over a year and half. We have the people’s support, and we cannot forget that.
Here is what YOU can do this week:

We need to have a presence at every City and County meeting going forward, regardless of if the issue is on the agenda. If you can make it to one of the below meetings this week, make your voice heard, and look for us there so we can connect! 

Tuesday 10/28 - City Council Meeting
When: 3pm (public comment at the end)
Where: City Council Building, 1000 Lindsay St., Chattanooga, TN

Wednesday 10/29 - County Commission Meeting
When: 9:30am (public comment at the end)
Where: 625 Georgia Ave, 4th Floor, Chattanooga, TN 37402

Continue reaching out to YOUR personal City and County Reps. This is where our voices are mostly likely to be heard. Next year is an election year.
