[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't disagree with you in theory, but as an advocacy campaign this needs some work.

First of all, lose the talking points about property values. That's muddying the waters and making it look like student safety is an afterthought rather than the point of the campaign.

Second, focus on this case as an example of the needs for better laws county-wide. As the law stands, this company is absolutely within its legal rights to be where it is. So the point is to change the zoning/regulations, not just to "save" this one elementary school.

Third, why are you listing BoE as decision-makers? Is the theory of change that you could get them to pressure the County? That's a dicey proposition, as there is not really any love lost between BoE and County Council. [/quote]

+1 This would be true advocacy.  Additionally, providing other alternatives like the farm space you suggested and how the increase space could be beneficial to the patients both in providing fresh air, space for outdoor therapy to include gardening and walks.[/quote]
