For this assignment, you will get to experience advocacy in action by participating in a local city council meeting (or other governmental/legislative meeting with elected officials, if approved by the instructor prior to attending, such as a school board meeting). Note that the frequency of city council meetings may vary depending on where you live. Get one on your calendar as soon as the semester starts to ensure you have time to attend a meeting and submit the assignment on time! You may also be able to attend a meeting virtually.
