Hi everyone,

I’m thrilled to share that our petition now has 339 signatures! Thank you all for your incredible support so far.

While I’ve sent emails to our local decision makers, I haven’t yet received responses. To build on our momentum and ensure our voices are heard, I’m asking you to consider reaching out directly to those who can make a difference. Please consider contacting our local representatives via email or phone to let them know you support legalizing backyard hens in Springfield. And as always, sharing this petition with anyone you think would support the cause--even if they may not be interested in keeping hens, themselves--is always welcome! 

Below is a sample message you can use as a starting point:

Subject: Support for Backyard Hens in Springfield

Dear [Decision Maker’s Name],

I am writing to express my support for amending local zoning laws to allow Springfield residents to keep a reasonable number of backyard hens. I believe that this change would enhance food security, promote sustainable living, and strengthen our community ties. As a concerned constituent, I urge you to help move this proposal forward.

Thank you for your attention to this important issue.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
