Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Our next coalition meeting will be held earlier than normal in-person on Thursday June 5 6:30 - 8 pm at eleven20 artist studios and workshops, 1120 Butler St, Easton PA. There is on-street parking, ring the bell at the main entrance on Butler street when you arrive. **please remember to shut the door completely behind you when you leave!
This week we will focus on setting up more active volunteer teams to tackle specific tasks as we move into a new phase of our opposition campaign. There is work to be completed on numerous fronts, so if you have any time - even just an hour - connect with me (email or at the meeting) and we will get you set up with a task!
Easton Planning Commission meeting has been cancelled tonight, June 4. The next one is scheduled for July 2...and we will need everyone to show up on July 2.
Our billboard campaign produced an uptick in petition signatures and views on our website! We have seen a small increase in donations, but we still have a ways to go to hit the funding goal, so please donate what you can and hit up your neighbors, the proposed mega-warehouse puts all at risk.
A big thanks to Brian Myzkowski from Lehigh Valley News for writing about the billboard:

Please keep our cause in the spotlight by circulating the PETITION and interacting with social media posts on INSTAGRAM and FACEBOOK.
We are collaborating with a new group, Parents and Families for Clean Air. They are based out of Wilson PA, and focusing their efforts on raising awareness on the negative air quality impacts the proposed mega-warehouse will have on the area, and the difficult issues families are already facing due to the quality of air in our region.
