Hi Friends-

Last week was a big week for our fight! We had really amazing & effective speakers present our case in front of the Dallas City Council. Thank you to each of them!! You can watch their speeches here:

Mayor Pro Tem Gay Wills and Council Member Paula Blackmon authored a Memo to the City Manager asking for a delay to the implementation of the Sanitation Departments plan to allow time for alley evaluations and improvements. We hope the City Manager is listening!

We had great media coverage from NBC Channel 5, the DMN, D Magazine and the Dallas Observer. Please check the Media Mentions section of our petition.

Here's the NBC Channel 5 report. It isn't posted on our petition yet.

We plan to speak again before the City Council. Stay tuned for the date. It was easy to attend and only took about an hour 9-10am...so please consider attending next time. If you're committed to the fight to keep your alley service, we need you there!!

As always, please visit www.keepalleytrash for up to date information,  yard signs and an easy way to contact your City Council Member!

Thanks everyone! The fight continues!!
