Your Vote, Your Right: The City's Attempts to Hide the Truth About Zoning

- **Why: **People are voting yes because they like Harbor Springs the way it is - **If you care, do something about it: **Reach out to Harbor Springs voters, your neighbors and help them understand why VoteYES439 matters to you. - **It takes a lot of effort to preserve Harbor Springs: **With 23 Days to the election, we meet with voters daily to help them understand that VoteYes takes us back to the zoning that has worked for decades. Email weloveharborsprings@gmail.com to volunteer. - **A Plan Moving Forward: **With a win on Yes, the community will get the zoning right, assure full community agreement, and refresh the zoning. But take out the parts designed to expand density and explosive development. - **Communicate: **The Harbor Light refuses to publish any articles on the zoning, so this newsletter is the only way to communicate. Please share this email with friends and ask them to subscribe. - **Vote Tripling** is a simple technique to get a concerned citizen to remind three of their friends to cast their ballot as a YES Vote. By bringing in three new voters, this technique strengthens turnout and triples the number of people sharing their voice! Studies have shown that people are significantly more likely to vote when they’re asked to do so by someone they trust. Because the reminder comes straight from a friend or family member, this method cuts through the noise of politics as usual. - **Questions: **We are hosting Town Hall sessions online Thursday, October 17 5:30PM (Register for Zoom) and Saturday, October 26 10:30 AM (Register for Zoom) and at the Colonial Inn in person Oct 22 from 5:30-7:00 PM ***- - - Stay In Touch: **We need to know who you are.
