How to Contact Elected Officials
Decide On Your Message
You have two ways in which to express your opinion. 1) Show up to a meeting & speak during Public Comment and/or 2) Write your legislators ahead of the meeting. You can find suggested talking points to help you hone your message (hint: personal stories are best!)
Have Your Comment in the record of the Meeting
Send your statement as a matter of record to cityclerk@cityofberkeley.info and make sure the subject line references the agenda item.
Send a Message to Elected officials
Compose your message (of any length) and send to the Mayor and all of the Council. Send your message to council@cityofberkeley.info AND clerk@cityofberkeley.info. That will go to all City Council members.
