Update from Kayne Darrell on October 6th rally at NHC Commissioners
On Monday, we delivered a clear and powerful message — not just with the 13,415 petition signatures we handed to our county commissioners, but with the more than 100 citizens who stood together outside the courthouse and then filled the meeting room to show their support for protecting Sledge Forest.
The courthouse steps came alive in a sea of green shirts, signs, and smiles. As we unfurled a 30-foot banner listing every single name of our petition signers, you could feel the sense of pride and unity — that feeling of being part of something larger than ourselves.
