PG Councilman Campos to hold Town Hall, May 15th

Will Campos, councilman for District 2 in Prince George's County, will be holding a Town Hall meeting on Wednesday, May 15th beginning at 6:30pm, at Northwestern High School, 7000 Adelphi Road in Hyattsville. Many signers of our petition to stop breed bans are from Hyattsville, the Port Towns, Riverdale and Bladensburg...Campos is your elected official.  Even if you are not from his district, this is a good opportunity to interact with local government leaders and administrators.

Councilman Campos is one of  nine folks with the power to repeal the breed ban, and the Town Hall meeting is a great opportunity to talk to him or a member of his staff.  It's a good way to do some grassroots advocating for Prince George's Family Dogs and their owners!

We have an attorney ready to take the case. It takes money to do it, but with a your help, we can STOP this ban! We can improve public safety, we can STOP good Family Dogs from being ripped from their homes and their people; and we can STOP cruelty and abuse. When you send a financial contribution to the Prince George's Family Dogs Defense Fund, you can save these dogs. Please help today.
