A SQUEAKY WHEEL GUIDE 9

TO LOCAL ADVOCACY
Craft a complaint that gets results. 

Accuracy, brevity and conciseness matters. 

Yes, maybe there are thousands of curb ramps that need repair in your city — but address the high impact ones first. 

State what your issue is and what result you’re seeking. 

If you are vague, unclear and angry, you will not be setting the stage for allowing officials to help you.

State that you will be checking back on progress toward resolving your issue.

Resist the temptation to copy every city official under the sun. 

Doing that is likely to get you dismissed as a crack pot.
