How to give testimony
(even if it kinda gives you the hives)

If you're anxious about giving public testimony, that's okay! You aren't alone. Almost everyone is. When you show up and give your story, it is powerful. Even if your voice shakes or your knees knock. Maybe especially. This is a part of doing life in community and showing up to it with all we've got.

And you are not alone! 
We've got you... let us help you get prepared!

Getting Prepared!
Time to craft your testimony! It is important to script in advance to feel prepared. Below is a powerful teaching from Stori Long (along with a worksheet) that will break down how to write your story. We have heard time and time again that this has helped people focus their thoughts, feel prepared and tell a powerful and compelling story of why this matters to them.

Worksheet: The story of you, us, now
​And here is a teaching from Cole Merkel that is like having a friend who's been there before guide you through what it is like to show up in the space and how to prepare your body to feel present and powerful.
