On September 16, 2024, I was officially arraigned for planting trees, violating an unenforced, dormant city ordinance.
Don’t be a victim to this government overreach and help me fight the City of Redondo Beach to change and update these anti-tree laws. Redondo Beach has a Tree City USA designation, therefore we need officials who will make positive environmental changes to our laws.
With some of our city government officials also in violation of this same ordinance, it seems hypocritical they have not attempted to make any changes already. When I discussed with a city leader, he laughed during our conversation and said, “Haha, but you got caught.” This is not the type of leadership we need, especially of those saying they are pro-environment.
Please show your support by writing to your city council member, mayor, and your representatives. I created a contact page here.
Also,speak with your neighbors and have them sign the petition.
My next court date is October 15, 2024.
