They never thought we would get this far! With your help, we can go the distance. Can you help us raise another $5,000 by this Wednesday?

DONATE: https://www.gofundme.com/f/save-watkins-legal-fund

Thanks to your donations so far, we have been able to stand up to the powerful, well-connected, deep-pocketed forces that want to plunder Sam Watkins' public legacy and hand $20 million over to a wealthy private college.

We are back in court this coming Wednesday, October 14, to battle the latest attempt by Watkins/Belmont "leadership" to kill the #SaveWatkins lawsuit. If we win this round, we have a real chance to rescue that $20 million and redirect it back to Samuel Watkins' vision of education to benefit all...not just the elite.

Every dollar raised so far has been spent already, to compensate our rock star attorneys, Jonathon Fagan and Kevin Teets. They have done what many thought impossible: they have skillfully argued our case and kept us in the fight, even as Belmont/Watkins attorneys have pulled every trick in the book to squash our cause. The value of their services has literally been ten times what we have been able to pay, and we are forever grateful.

PLEASE consider a donation to help us fairly compensate them for work that lies ahead, next week, and beyond. We knew that going against the Watkins/Belmont machine was going to be an uphill fight, but we are still in it, with your help!

All money will go directly to our attorneys. Please share this fundraiser to spread the word.
