FIRST THEY CANCELLED SUMMER SESSIONS. THEN THEY CANCELLED THE FIRST ONE OF THE FALL...

August 15, 2017 OWASA has taken an unprecedented recess all summer. An audit of the recent history shows that over the past five years they have not previously cancelled all summer meetings that the public is welcome to petition and comment at. The next meeting was set for Aug 24, where we had organized a campaign to get as many voices there as possible, to petition the OWASA board of directors to not resume putting fluoride in our water. It appears they were aware of this and are continuing to silence public opposition to their decision to continue this practice, ignoring the voices of many in our community, as well as the science showing this is harmful. We are moving forward and will hold a peaceful protest/sit-in at the date, time and location of the meeting that was cancelled, though the OWASA board will not be present to hear our voices. News media will be, as well as passersby. We hope this serves to demonstrate that we have a real determination and plenty of momentum to keep this growing movement strong. We hope all who signed this petition over the past few months will join us at the front of the Chapel Hill Town Hall Building on MLK on August 24 at 7pm. Thank you!
