Help Our Advocacy Chair Track the Dallas County Commissioner Court meetings.
Ways You Can Help:
1. Follow Dallas Documenters for on-the-ground insights and meeting notes: Dallas Free Press Meeting Briefs https://dallasfreepress.com/public-meeting-briefs/
2. Monitor news sources for voting-related and other county coverage.
3. Watch Commissioner Court meetings and community meetings to track discussions on issues. Meetings are typically the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month beginning at 9am, except for July when the Court meets only on the first Tuesday. Videostream is accessible at https://dallascounty.civicweb.net/portal/
Lastly, provide a very brief summary or highlight about the meeting. Or let Diane know if the Dallas Documenter report is sufficient. We hope your efforts will give the LWVD Board advance notice of when the League should advocate for an issue to the Trustees. The advocacy is done by the President - not the Observer.
