It's too early to declare victory, but in case you didn't read the Boston Globe article yesterday, the headline says it all: "Boston backs down on plan to remove Melnea Cass trees." Thanks to a strongly worded letter from the Attorney General's Office on Thursday, we feel like the tide has turned on this project. And thank YOU all for your continued advocacy and support!

We'll be posting updates on a website hosted by Speak for the Trees and will continue to share updates there there in the coming days and weeks. You can also follow us on our Facebook group page.

Meanwhile, we'd like to welcome and thank 6 new orgs who just co-signed our petition letter. They are:

GreenRoots
Climable.org
Boston Climate Action Network
Emerald Necklace Conservancy
Chester Square Neighbors
Mothers Out Front Brookline

Onwards!
