Show Up and Be Heard

Show up. Not just in comments, not only online, but in that

room where the mics sometimes squeal and the chairs still remember every argument.

This is where budgets breathe, where somebody should do something. becomes,

"I showed up and said it out loud." When you're not there,

your silence signs the paperwork for you. Decisions still get made,

just without your fingerprint on them. Bring your questions, your side-eye, your,

"Explain that one more time." Bring workers, elders, parents with kids

in pajamas, business owners, renters that just got off shift tired.
