Take some time today to make one last push to call or email the court to let them know you are in favor of removal, and continuing sharing the petition. There will be no vote tomorrow so we need to continue to garner support in hopes they will place it on the July 13th agenda for a vote.
Send the petition link in your social media again asking for those who have not signed to sign... we are working toward our 7,500 goal
