Phone call · 5 minutesCampaign: Ready by 2030
Call your councilmember about Ready by 2030
Staff tally every call and report them to the member before a vote. The full script is below. Most calls are over in ninety seconds, and voicemail counts.
Who you're calling
Your Calder City councilmember
555-0142City Hall switchboard. A demo number; no real office is reached.

1Say who you are“Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME] and I live in [YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD], in the councilmember's district.”
2Make one clear ask“I'm calling to ask the councilmember to vote yes on the Ready by 2030 clean-electricity resolution when it comes to the full council in September.”
3Add one personal line“It matters to me because [ONE SENTENCE: your kids' school, your power bill, your street's heat in July].”
4Say thanks and hang up“Thank you for passing that along. Have a good day.”

▶Twelve municipal roofs plus community solar cover most of the city's 46 GWh annual use.
▶Six of nine votes are pledged. The seventh makes it veto-proof.
▶The resolution includes annual public reporting: a dashboard, not a press release.
