The Plan: What to Expect When you Arrive!
Our participation in this space will be respectful, attentive, and supportive of the work of Turnkey. It will also be a chance to warmly interact with our neighbors who are attendees, staff, commissioners, and other testifiers. (This is not a protest. We wear green simply to communicate support.)
It could be a long one tonight, so its a good idea to bring water and a snack! If you don't have something green to wear, we'll have some scarves there for you!

5:30pm: Gather, sign in, and get oriented
- When you walk in, there will be someone there to help you find your way. You will sign in at the welcome table in the lobby with your name and what you are here for.
- You'll then travel in elevators to the fourth floor where the meeting takes place.
- We are expecting a LOT of people to show up, both in support of Turnkey and opposing it, enough that we may have to use the overflow room. So you will want to head up to the room as soon as you can!
- You will sign up for that ahead of the meeting by walking up to the side table on the left side of the room and filling out the blue card. You can do this as soon as you arrive
- If you are giving testimony: The meeting will begin with public comment. If you signed up for public testimony you will be called forward by name to a table with a microphone to give your comment.
- Because there are so many people you may only have one minute to speak. So zero in to what’s most important and make your support clear!
- This is a chance to show support and reinforce the good work the commissioners have done to get us this far and thank them for their leadership toward a yes. This bolsters them for their vote with the support of the community.

- If you are not giving testimony, we invite you to be an intentional listener. On the back of this sheet, please track what you notice throughout the process in terms of what you hear and see in the dynamics in the room.
- It is also really helpful to tally about how many supporters and opposition are present, and how many people testify for and against.
