SHOW UP: You don't have to speak to make an impact - your presence matters

But, if you are willing to speak at the hearing, SPEAK - it will help even more: Put a face on this issue, make it personal - tell them what you stand to lose

BRING your kids, BRING your friends, BRING your neighbors: A strong turnout matters
