This site does not tell you what to think. We believe an informed public should make that decision. Here are ways to make your voice heard — whether you support or oppose Flock in Roanoke.

If You Want to Voice Concerns

  • Contact City Council directly: find Council Members' contact information at roanokeva.gov/989/City-Council, or by calling the City Clerk's Office at (540) 853-2541. (Roanoke)
  • Speak at a City Council meeting: Roanoke City Council meets twice a month — on the first Monday at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., and on the third Monday at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. All meetings are held in the City Council Chamber, Room 450, at the Noel C. Taylor Municipal Building, 215 Church Avenue SW. Speakers are allotted three minutes each. (Roanoke)
  • Contact the ACLU of Virginia: active on this issue locally — acluva.org.
