JPNC Draft Statement to Whole Foods
Pasted below is a draft of the statement that the JPNC and Ad Hoc committee intend to deliver at the Whole Foods Community Forum on June 2nd. As in previous statements made by the JPNC - JP for All believes that this statement does not accurately reflect the majority opinion in JP and that the opening and closing show a complete and utter disregard for trying to engage Whole Foods in a civil manner. If you agree please email the JPNC at …See More

Wanted to give everyone a quick update on our progress!
We now have 402 City of Boston residents that have signed our petition. 370 of those are from Jamaica Plain. We also have a large number of supporters who are anonymous to me, but not the elected officials who see the emails. We feel strongly that looking at the numbers close to 59% of the 162 are from JP.
We currently have 158 fans on Facebook and 87 followers on our Twitter account. Not all are…

We have another 93 people who are anonymous to me, but the percentages indicate that a clear majority of those are City of Boston residents too. We now have 112 Facebook fans and have a Twitter account with 44 followers. Great…
