Amazing news! Our petition to plant 10,000 trees in South Seattle by 2030 has reached 554 signatures and continues to grow every day. Your support is making a real difference in the fight for climate justice in our city.

Here's what's happening:

✅ Media momentum: I've written op-eds for both the South Seattle Emerald and Seattle Times, bringing citywide attention to the urgent need for tree equity in South Seattle

✅ Community response: Residents across Seattle are recognizing that climate justice means protecting our most vulnerable neighborhoods first

✅ Policy engagement: I'm reaching out to city councilmembers and local officials to turn petition signatures into concrete action

But we need your help to keep this momentum going!

Our next goal: 1,000 signatures by the end of the month

Every signature represents a voice demanding that Seattle prioritize climate equity. The more support we show, the harder it becomes for city leaders to ignore this critical issue.

During the next heat wave, South Seattle neighborhoods will again face temperatures up to 10 degrees hotter than North Seattle. We can't wait for the next crisis to act. Seattle has the opportunity to become a national model for climate justice—but only if we build the political pressure to make it happen.

Every signature counts. Every share matters. Every conversation helps.

Together, we're not just planting trees—we're planting the seeds of a more equitable Seattle where every neighborhood has the green infrastructure needed to thrive in our changing climate.

Thank you for being part of this movement. Let's get to 1,000 signatures and show Seattle what community-powered climate action looks like!

In solidarity,

Tom McEnery Creator, 10,000 Trees for South Seattle Campaign

P.S. Have friends in other cities facing similar heat equity issues? They can use our campaign as a model for their own communities. Climate justice is contagious—let's help it spread!
