Hello friends and community allies,

In just 5 days we’ve got 2,117 signatures on the petition to protect Old Mill - and counting. Thank you for standing up for what matters.

But we’re not done. This isn’t just about a market. It’s about the soul of Westport - our right to gather, to connect, to keep spaces alive that actually feel like home.

If you haven’t already, please share the petition with 10 people today. Use Facebook, your group chats, WhatsApp, email - whatever gets it out there. The louder we are, the harder we are to ignore.

And tomorrow, we’re taking this conversation live.

Join us Thursday at 3PM Eastern on Instagram Live (@0688danwoog)

Dan Woog and Dave Briggs will be at Old Mill Grocery & Deli, talking with folks from SEA and Romanacci about what’s really going on - and where we go from here. Free ice cream from Retreat Sweets, too.

To everyone who’s signed, donated, and shown up - you’re making a difference. Let’s keep the pressure on. Let’s protect what makes this place ours.

See you tomorrow!

**UPDATE** Please give to our GoFundMe campaign if you want to help us fight these lawsuits. "Chipping in" when signing the petition only helps get the word out (and thanks to those who have).
