Of course it’s great that she’s taken the effort to take a stand for something she believes in, while most people are just moaning about it on line, but while the style of delivery is shareable it’s not really how one communicates with the public or with public officials.
The only people who will think this is a “good speech” are the people who already believe what she does, when she’s really trying to reach everyone else.
For that reason the snarky witty basis isn’t really helpful. She also needs to reduce her pace by about two thirds.

The fact that the council won’t likely be swayed by her alone isn’t her problem. Her wit and the virality can bring other pressure beyond her own delivery. And the pacing is likely attributable to the fact that public commentary is limited to a time constraint in these meetings. She had a lot to say and not a lot of time to say it in.

The speech wasn’t for the officials, it was for the voters, young ones specifically. That’s why she mentions re-election at the end.
