Alyssa Hayes and Madison Schroder speak on behalf of Generation Atomic at Thorium Energy Alliance Conference #11.
Does your nuclear testimony suck? Do you mumble? Do you spend all your precious seconds attempting to refute that previous speaker's FUD?
Do you pound your fist on the podium and scream "You can't handle the truth!!!"
Well, even if you don't, there's still excellent advice here.
What is a testimony?
Let decision makers know about your position on a bill or issue, can be before...
- Government/ Regulatory Agency
- Congress
- Commissions
Two types...
- Written (date/time deadline)
- Verbal (during the public hearing)
Who can give testimony? ANYONE!
- Experts
- Employees
- Activists
- Members of the community
- Concerned citizens
Preparing for Written & Verbal Testimony
1. Spend time beforehand reflecting on your own experience and reasons for supporting nuclear energy
2. Collect necessary materials for a well informed testimony (What is this hearing about? What information do you need for a strong testimony? Relevant Data? Comprehensive Statistics? Who will you be giving testimony to? What are their interests? Who do they represent? How long do you have to present?)
3. Write it out and practice!
