About you
Fill this in once. Every draft on the right updates as you type.
Don't know your district? Look it up by address on denvergov.org.
Email your councilmembers
Write to your district member and At-Large Councilmember Serena Gonzales-Gutierrez. (The second at-large seat is vacant until a special election.) They represent you directly, so a personal note from a constituent carries weight.
Show up Tuesday
Fill the room at City Council public comment on Tuesday, Oct 13 at 5:30 PM, in person or on Zoom. Speakers get a fixed time on a countdown clock, so the script below is sized to fit.
- Sign up to speak at Council. Register on the city's public comment page and choose in person, Zoom, or phone. The city emails the Zoom link after you register. Speakers who haven't spoken recently go to the top of the list.
- Come to public comment: Tues. Oct 13, 5:30 PM. Even if you don't speak, a full room shows Council this matters.
- Start with your name and district, then make one clear ask. The script below already does both.
- Read it aloud once with a timer. Unused time can't be given to someone else, so trim rather than rush.
- Share this page and bring a friend. Cooperatives matter.
In person: City and County Building, 1437 Bannock St. Arrive a little early; other business can run first. How to access Council meetings.
Send written comment
Written comment goes into the public record and can be read by every member before a vote. It's a good option if you can't make a meeting.
- Copy the comment below once it reads the way you want.
- Submit it through the city's form when the item is on an agenda. For public hearings, written testimony opens at 5 p.m. the Thursday before and closes at 3 p.m. on the hearing day. Council public input page.
- Before it's scheduled, email the same comment to all 12 members (tab 1, "All 12 members") so it's on record now.
