Thank you for supporting “NO METRO on ROW”! In the past few weeks, up and down the freight train right-of-way (ROW), beautiful Great Blue Herons have been spotted hunting gophers!
Community green space is important, and Metro needs to build with a vision for the future. This means building responsibly and with environmental equity at top of mind, rather than what they believe to be “cheap and quick.”
———WHAT CAN YOU DO NOW? ————
Encourage your friends and family to sign the petition - our signatures are fast approaching 1500! Send them to: Change.org/say-no-to-row
We also have the support of politicians who represent Lawndale, Hawthorne & Redondo Beach. They have written formal letters of support for aligning the Metro extension elevated down the center of Hawthorne Blvd, where the original Red Line street cars used to run!
DONATE TO THE GOFUNDME!
(Not Change.org; we don’t see any of those donations!) As we enter what we hope will be the final week of our campaign, your financial support remains essential to spreading the word effectively. https://gofund.me/c3f70d66
