<br />Tactical or transactional information may be shared directly. Coalition-wide strategy and messaging materials are routed <br />through the executive committee for coordination. <br /> <br />How should media inquiries be handled? <br />Media inquiries related to the coalition should follow each city’s typical internal media procedures. Momentum can assist <br />with talking point preparation and may coordinate or follow up on requests stemming from coalition press advisories. <br />Coalition-related media questions may be directed to kdrake@momentum-advocacy.com <br /> <br />What does participation require? <br />There are two membership levels: Full Membership or Ally Membership. Both levels allow cities to determine how they use <br />coalition messaging and the extent to which they participate in advocacy. <br /> <br />Full City Membership provides access to all CSSC materials, including messaging, FAQs, talking points, and weekly updates <br />on advocacy. Participating mayors are invited to meet weekly with Momentum Advocacy on Wednesdays at 8:00 a.m. <br />(virtual meeting). Member city administrators/managers can also participate in a Friday morning virtual meeting (8:30 <br />a.m.) to receive coalition updates and share resources. <br /> <br />Full Membership requires a financial commitment: the estimated shared cost for the consultant is approximately $5,000 <br />per city. We will try to accommodate cities that are unable to contribute at that level. The estimate is based on current <br />membership and strong interest from additional cities. Minnetonka holds the contract with Momentum and will bill each <br />participating city at the conclusion of the engagement. If your city joins as a Full Member, Minnetonka will send an MOU. <br /> <br />Ally Membership cities participating at the Ally level receive public messaging and general updates at no cost. Allies may <br />share information at their discretion and do not contribute financially. <br /> <br />Does participation require public statements or media engagement? <br />No. Cities choose whether and how they participate publicly. <br /> <br />What if our city does not want to join formally? <br />That is completely fine. Cities may stay informed, share perspective or data, selectively amplify shared messages, and <br />revisit participation at a later time. Cities may contact akise@momentum-advocacy.com <br /> to receive updates. <br /> <br />What types of information are shared? <br />Information may include general operational impacts, public safety or service-delivery considerations, media inquiries and <br />messaging context, and relevant federal or state developments. Cities control what they choose to share. <br /> <br />Who should our point of contact be? <br />City managers or administrators are asked to serve as the primary point of contact. Additional staff, including <br />communications and policy staff, may also be included. <br /> <br />How do we learn more or express interest? <br />Cities may contact Alexis Kise (akise@momentum-advocacy.com) to request materials, ask questions, or indicate how they <br />would like to engage. <br /> <br />Flour Exchange Building 310 4th Ave S #9200, Minneapolis, MN 55415 <br />momentum-advocacy.com
