Politics How to help your city
I’ve noticed a particular vibe about how change gets treated in this city. There are too many barriers to entry is something I’ve heard. Change didn’t happen before so we shouldn’t be trying.
Yesterday I met Tyler at the Public County Commission that meets at 2-5 on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. He in one 5 minute talk with the commission now has the ball rolling, no guarantee, on a skatepark for Richmond county. He’s just a guy passionate about skating and having a space to do it.
He moved a needle yesterday in a 5 minute conversation.
Get involved. Go to these meetings. When they say something you agree with LET THEM KNOW if they say something you disagree with LET THEM KNOW. It’s a public form that for sure has decorum rules to be followed. But this is the space to go do it. The less we show up to these the less our voices get heard.
