Fort Worth Budget: Speech Workshop
September 14 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Free and open to the public RSVP requested: PLEASE RSVP HERE
Hands on workshop on how to write and deliver effective public comment at Fort Worth City Council meetings. White Settlement City Council Member Aaron James will walk attendees through the process of crafting a compelling, concise speech from organizing your argument to speaking with confidence at the podium, so your three minutes will actually move the needle.
What You’ll Learn:
*How to structure a public comment for maximum impact in a short time limit
*How to translate personal budget concerns into persuasive, fact based arguments
*Tips for confident delivery, tone, and handling nerves at the microphone
*What Council members are actually listening for and how to speak their language
*How to tie your comments to the specifics of the proposed tax rate increase
Why This Matters Now:
Fort Worth’s proposed budget includes a property tax rate increase tied to a growing revenue shortfall. Decisions made in the coming weeks will shape your tax bill for the year ahead. Council only hears from residents who show up this is your chance to be one of them.
Who Should Attend:
Anyone who wants their voice heard on the city budget homeowners, renters, small business owners, and anyone concerned about rising costs in Fort Worth. No public speaking experience is necessary.
