Sample Call Script:

Hi, I’m calling to ask Council President Harrell to champion the progressive business tax and make sure it passes with a veto-proof majority.

I’m a District 2 resident, and I strongly support this legislation.  This is a common sense measure that will allow the City to address the homelessness and housing crisis without raising taxes further on those least able to afford it.

I appreciate Council President Harrell’s engagement in this issue so far, but now we really need to hear his public support.  I hope he will announce his support early this week and help lead the effort to pass strong legislation next Monday.  Thanks for your time!

I appreciate all your positive engagement in the council’s discussions on the progressive business tax so far.  Now we’re at the critical moment where we need to hear your public support.  Please announce your support and help us bring this legislation over the finish line!
