I am both a neighbor and a friend to the Grove family, and I'm reaching out with a heavy heart filled with concern for our community. We're facing an urgent threat from Dominion Energy, a powerful entity intent on dismantling the historic White Ridge Farm in Somerville to make way for infrastructure serving Data Centers and AI.

White Ridge Farm is more than just a farm. It's a cherished piece of our local history, a testament to our shared heritage, and a vital part of the Grove family's livelihood. This farm has been an integral aspect of our community for generations, offering not only natural beauty but cultural significance. Losing it to corporate expansion feels not only unjust but a deep loss to our community's spirit.

Understandably, energy needs are high in our technology-driven world, but the cost of such development cannot and should not include erasing our history and undermining the social frameworks that bind us together. There must be alternatives—ones that balance the progress of technology and the preservation of our cherished landmarks.

Join us in our real-time battle to protect White Ridge Farm from becoming yet another casualty of industrial expansion. Your support can help raise awareness and put pressure on Dominion Energy to consider other viable solutions that do not involve destroying a vital part of Somerville's heart and soul.

For more insight into the impact this is having on the Grove family and our community, please watch our interview with them at "Somerville" on theamericantable.org.

Your voice matters. Please sign this petition to stand with us in this critical fight for preserving what's dearly ours.
