Take Action

1

Sign the Petition

Add your name to show the Everett City Council that residents demand an end to the Flock contract. Numbers matter — a large petition demonstrates real community opposition that council members cannot ignore.

Share the petition with friends, family, and neighbors in Everett. Word of mouth builds the movement.

Speak at City Council — In Person

Public comment is the most powerful way to make your voice heard. Council members are required to listen, and your statement becomes part of the official public record. Showing up in person carries particular weight.

Meeting Schedule: Every Wednesday at 6:30 PM
(4th and 5th Wednesdays of the month meet as 12:30 PM)

Meeting Location: Everett City Council Chambers
3002 Wetmore Avenue, Everett, WA 98201

Tips for Effective Public Comment

  • Arrive early and fill out a public comment card at the entrance to the chambers.
  • You have 3 minutes — prepare and practice your statement in advance so you use the time well.
  • Share your personal story — why does mass surveillance in Everett concern you specifically?
  • Be specific and direct: "I am asking you to vote to cancel Everett's contract with Flock Safety."
  • A calm, respectful tone is most effective and gets taken seriously.
  • Bring a friend or neighbor — numbers in the room send a message on their own.

What to Include in Your Email

  • Your name and which Everett neighborhood you live in (or that you live nearby).
  • Why mass surveillance in Everett concerns you — make it personal and specific.
  • A clear request: "I am asking you to vote to cancel Everett's contract with Flock Safety."
  • Keep it concise — a focused, personal email gets read. You don't need to write an essay.
