Today, June 11th, exactly at noon, we hit 10,000 signatures!
Ten Thousand Voices Strong for Saving Sledge Forest!That deserves a tribute to all of YOU who signed our petition. You checked the box. You stood up for Sledge Forest. You added your name—and now, we’re more than 10,000 strong!
And, that’s why, on Saturday, June 21st from 4–5 PM at Innes Park, we’re hosting a Rally to mark this milestone: 10,000 voices united to save this irreplaceable forest—and YOU are part of that story.
This isn’t just another event. It’s our chance to say—loud and clear—that destroying our last, large expanse of old-growth forest - simply for the benefit of a developer’s profit - is unacceptable. And, that this massive development isn’t just wrong for the forest—it’s also a direct threat to our community’s health, safety, and quality of life. A message we'll send to our decision makers, our elected officials, the media, and the developer!
Can you help make this rally a success? We have a simple yet powerful way you can help. (Besides showing up, of course!)
🎯 Bring 5 people with you. That’s it. If every supporter does that, we’ll turn this rally into an undeniable show of public support for this cause.
Together, we’ve already done something incredible. Let’s keep the momentum going—and make June 21st a powerful show of people power and a powerful voice for justice.
Please RSVP here …and don’t forget to recruit those five friends!
This rally is for you—for all of us who care. Let’s show them what 10,000 voices looks like!
