Our resounding voice is our highest leverage!
Sunday 9/8, at 4 pm in front of Oppenlander
It was our unified active voices, emails, and in person rallies that got the City and School District back to the table in 2021. It was our unified voice at the voting booth that passed a bond measure with a 2:1 margin.
The School District is motivated and itching to sell Oppenlander to a developer for 35 to 90 new homes, and in doing so West Linn will lose almost 50 years of Oppenlander open space/park history and the only full size recreational fields in central and north West Linn.
We’ll invite the press, but it’s you and your family that are most important. At trial, the District and City both said they cam together in 2021 in response to public pressure. We can’t give up now!
Some say we are crazy, and the District is only after the highest cash return. But we know “good faith” and a passion for the community are in the District’s DNA … we need to help them re-find their core values, and let them know we support them today, through the difficult decision it will take to sell/buy at a renegotiated, reasonable, and appropriate price that makes it possible for all of us to keep Oppenlander a park serving generations of children to come.
Please come to the rally with signs of encouragement and support for the District to make a win-win-win decision, and for both parties to see mutual “good faith” as a sacrifice and victory where we all win and that we all support.
We’ll discuss further strategy and answer questions at the rally.
Bring your children!
