Show Up & Speak Out

🏛️ Attend City Council Meetings & Public Events

​

Your voice matters. Speaking at a council meeting or rally helps shape the public record and shows leaders our community is paying attention.

This fight will have a direct impact on the inner city. We need to be visible and vocal.

   Ask for a parking pass when you sign up to speak.

3. State Your Name & District
   “My name is ____, and I live in District __.”

4. Share Your Concern

💡 Talking Points

• The People Deserve a Say – Before committing billions in tax dollars, San Antonians deserve transparency and public input.

• Transparency First – Independent study + public data before decisions.

• Risky Use of Tax Dollars – Public money and land should fund urgent community needs, not luxury projects.

• Protect the Inner City – East Side, Southtown, and Downtown face the biggest risks: displacement, rent hikes, and loss of cultural spaces.

​​

🎯 Pro Tips

• Keep remarks under 2 minutes.

• Speak calmly and clearly.

• Not speaking? Bring a sign and show support.

• Share your experience online with #NoProjectMarvel.
