🎉 We’re at 31% of our goal — 737 signatures needed! 🎉

That represents 10% of all registered voters.

Even more encouraging: in the last two federal elections, only 34% of registered voters actually voted. That means we’re already nearly at 10% of that active voter base as well!

📈 We are making great progress, and momentum is on our side. Please continue to sign, share, and spread the word!

🐔 Why backyard chickens matter — health & community benefits:

• Improved food security: Fresh eggs provide affordable, local protein and nutrients

• Better nutrition: Eggs are rich in vitamins A, D, E, B12, and healthy fats

• Mental health benefits: Caring for animals reduces stress, anxiety, and promotes routine

• Healthier communities: Fewer food miles = fresher food and a smaller environmental footprint

• Educational value: Teaches children responsibility, sustainability, and where food comes from

• Natural pest control: Chickens eat insects and reduce yard pests

• Soil health: Chicken manure is an excellent natural fertilizer when composted properly
