Ask the City of Antioch to Continue to Be a Partner in Defending Measure T

The City of Antioch has been making some worrying moves over the past couple of months on the public’s huge 79 percent Yes on Measure T victory from this past November. Measure T increased protections on thousands of acres of land west of Deer Valley Road in the Sand Creek Area by making it harder to develop large-scale residential subdivisions there.

The City of Antioch has sent letters to the state government asking whether the state housing crisis bill, SB 330, nullifies Measure T. SB 330 was passed after the Antioch City Council adopted Measure T but before a judge sent it to the November 2020 ballot.

Is the City of Antioch losing its appetite for defending Measure T from the lawsuit that the Richfield developers have filed? The Richfield developers filed the lawsuit against Measure T because they want to build thousands of houses on the hills of the southern Sand Creek Area.

We are committed to fighting to keep as many of the protections that our landslide Measure T victory gave to the land as possible. We hope the City of Antioch keeps on being our valuable partner and respects the will of 79 percent of Antioch residents.

Please ask the Antioch City Council to stand with Antioch Community to Save Sand Creek, four out of five Antioch residents, and Antioch’s wildlife and beautiful open space to defend Measure T.

In your email, you can say, “Dear [insert each person’s name and title here; see their names and titles below], please continue to be our partner in defending Measure T and Antioch’s wildlife, hills, creeks, views, and open space.” Or you can write your own message.
