How to Speak at Dallas City Council

Ready to speak at City Council?

Deadline: Tuesday, June 9 at 5pm.

• Go to dallascityhall.com/government/citysecretary/Pages/CCrules.aspx.

• Scroll to the red box (see below) and choose your meeting first.

  • Haven't spoken or signed up for Open Mic in the last 30 days → click City Council Meeting (9am)

  • Have spoken or signed up in the last 30 days → click Special Called Meeting (10am), then select Agenda Items 1, 2, and do not sign up for Item 4 alone — it may be pulled.

• Do not use autofill. Type everything manually — autofill breaks the form even when it looks correct on your screen.

• Choose videoconference unless you are 100% certain you'll be there in person. You can always show up in person after registering for videoconference. You cannot switch the other way. If you videoconference, you must appear on screen — test your setup first.

• Register as "Save Dallas City Hall" in the "Whom do you represent" field so we can track our people.

• After registering, download the speaker list from the blue box (see below) and confirm your name is on it. When your name is called, be ready — miss your turn and you lose it.

Show up. Wear blue. Speak out.
