SPEAK UP FOR BIRDS! is seeking volunteers.
Speak Up For Birds! is a network of volunteers who lend their voices to ensure that bird conservation is given proper consideration when new building projects work their way through the city’s permitting process.
Here’s what Speak Up For Birds! volunteers do:
Join several organizing meetings (via zoom) for basic training on how to advocate effectively for bird-friendly buildings at a city plan commission meeting.
Attend at least 2 city plan commission meetings a year. These are held at Chicago City Hall on weekdays during business hours and usually last several hours.
Assist in submitting online letters of support for bird-friendly buildings for specific projects.
