Request To Speak (RTS)
What is Request To Speak?
Is it important?
Should you participate?
Request to Speak was designed by the State of Arizona to help lobbyists communicate with Legislators. Citizens are also able to use it and it became a way for us to let our legislators know if we supported a bill or rejected it!
How does it work? You can sign up by joining an AZ Indivisible group called Civic Engagement Beyond Voting, CEBV. They will sign you up, train you, and recommend the bills to support or reject. In addition, they provide a meeting every Sunday with a speaker who will discuss the important bills and a guest speaker who will discuss the legislature and how it functions.
Here is some information for you if you are interested:
Join CEBV: https://mobilize.us/s/HPjOeo
Sign up for RTS training:https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/747504/?timeslot=5150595
You can comment on bills at azleg.gov once you’ve signed up. No need to sign up again if you’ve already signed up in the past.
CEBV will be available to help you through any problems you have. The Arizona Legislature begins its session on January 13, 2025.
