- Request to Speak (RTS) is a way for citizens to speak out that is unique to Arizona. It allows you to use your “voice” online to weigh in on bills. No actual speaking is involved. Sign up to receive Melinda Iyer’s Weekly Legislative Update. Melinda reports which bills are at a point in the process where you can use the RTS system to “vote” yes or no on bills and post comments. Steps to using RTS from Civic Engagement Beyond Voting:
- Sign up for an RTS account if you don’t have one.
- Visit the Civic Engagement Beyond Voting website, which features tons of resources, including a training video that’s 5 minutes well spent.
- Reading the Weekly Legislative Update will keep you apprised of the various bills before the Legislature. Does a certain bill catch your eye? If you feel strongly about a bill, let us know by emailing us at civicengagement@phoenixuu.org.
