In a previous communication, we rallied the community to help raise the $25K needed for retainer fees to hire a land use litigator to represent us in court. We made the goal just in time and hired the well-regarded Chatten-Brown Law Group on October 24th. Thank you to everyone who donated to help us achieve this milestone! We now have a very qualified local law firm representing OSO in this fight, and the first CEQA settlement meeting is this Friday October 31st. This first meeting will be the start of a long and detailed process so legal expenses will quickly add up.

We need your help! Land use litigation is expensive, and if we want to be aggressive in our negotiations, we need to raise an additional $50K to go the distance. The legal firm has generously offered to cap our fees at $75K. This partial contingency will ensure that our legal fees are fixed and is about half of what other law firms quoted us for this case. They believe we have a strong case and want to help us fight the environmental injustice of this project. Yes, it is a big goal, but we can easily raise remaining funds if we all pull together. We hit our first goal for the retainer fees in just 13 days!

Please consider donating, whether you already have or haven’t yet. This is our moment, and we finally have a seat at the table to try to influence what will be built at this site. We will never have this opportunity again so please spread the word.
