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 where you can 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 meeting DATE agenda item NUMBER.
Send a Message to Elected officials
Compose your message (of any length) and send to your Councilperson or those elected officials that sit on a Council Committee. To send a message to the Mayor and all of the Council, message council@berkeleyca.gov AND clerk@berkeleyca.gov
