  1. Arrive early! You want to sign in to testify as early as possible.
  2. Keep your testimony short and sweet! These hearings typically run for many hours with testimony on many different topics. 
  3. Make your ask clear: fund statewide mobile crisis services this year.
  4. Share your personal story. Briefly illustrate the need for mobile crisis services in our state.
  5. Bring written testimony. With limited time to summarize your testimony in front of the committee, having written testimony to hand in will help lawmakers remember your points.
