How to get involved

📅
Show up and speak
Every meeting above is open to any resident, and most have a public comment period — usually a few minutes per person, no sign-up needed. Showing up matters more than you'd think; most decisions are made in front of nearly empty rooms.
✉️
Write to the board before the meeting
Often more effective than speaking at the meeting itself — board members read constituent email, and a handful of messages on one topic gets noticed. Each board's contact page is linked from its meetings above.
⚖️
Know the appeal windows
Some decisions aren't final right away — zoning board rulings, for example, can be appealed to Superior Court within 20 days. Items with an open appeal window are flagged above with a countdown.
