Powerful Public Comment Training (Illinois Signal Collective)

The Powerful Public Comment training will provide an opportunity to practice drafting a public comment. Come to learn how to share your personal story and develop a narrative that connects with your audience and moves them into action.
This 2-hour training will provide key tips for creating public comments that counter and neutralize anti-equity messages. You will also learn how to translate your public comment into a Letter to the Editor that communicates an urgent value-based demand to a wider range of community stakeholders.
If possible, come prepared with a topic or issue that you want to address in a public comment. There will be breakout rooms for drafting comments and receiving peer feedback.
**This training is hosted by Illinois Signal Collective and facilitated by Keisa Reynolds of Public School Strong**
