A SQUEAKY WHEEL GUIDE 18

TO LOCAL ADVOCACY
You can fight City Hall, but not with fighting words. 

No matter how long your issue has been neglected, nor how much your frustration has built up, you will not influence decision makers by shaming, scolding or cursing them.

When your accessibility issue is resolved, don’t forget to praise all those involved with addressing your issue. 

Formal, written thank you notes may be rare as VCRs these days, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take a few moments to send an email thanking all those involved. 

A brief email of praise to a city manager, department head or city commissioner goes a long way.
