Fed up with the runaround at City Hall? Tired of government accountability feeling like a black box? I get it and we built something for you.

Today, I am so proud to release: A Citizen’s Guide to Taking On Your Local Government

This downloadable toolkit is part how-to, part pep talk, and all power-to-the-people. Whether you’re fighting for clean water, demanding transparency, or just trying to get someone to answer the damn phone, this guide has your back.

I can’t promise that this will solve Flint’s Town Meeting issues, but hey, it’s worth a shot. 😉


🛠️ What’s Inside?

  • 30+ Guide with 5 Easy-to-Follow Modules that walk you through every step of grassroots action, from identifying your issue to strategically and responsibly raising hell.
  • FOIA Templates, Complaint Language, and Sample Scripts you can actually copy and paste.
  • Tips on Going Public, including how to write a press release, use social media for good (not chaos), and get the media’s attention.
  • An Action Plan to help you get organized, focused, and loud in all the right ways.

Why I Made This

Because too many people get ignored, delayed, or outright dismissed when they ask for basic accountability.

Because public servants are supposed to serve the public.

Because we shouldn’t need a law degree to get someone to fix a pothole or investigate misuse of funds.

This guide is for the whistleblowers, the community organizers, the policy nerds, the pissed-off parents, and anyone who’s ever said, “Wait… can they even do that?”

Spoiler: Not always. And now you’ll know exactly what to do about it.


Who It’s For

  • Regular people who want to unregular their local government.
  • Students, journalists, and organizers who need a quick-start accountability kit.
  • Advocates and allies who want tools that actually work.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re yelling into a void — this guide turns that shout into strategy.
