Justice for Carolyn Campaign: Official Pause Notice
Our campaign for water justice has been temporarily suspended. This page provides important information about the pause and what it means for our supporters and the community.
The Justice for Carolyn campaign has been officially paused. This decision was made with careful consideration and respect for all parties involved.
After thoughtful deliberation and consultation with stakeholders, we've made the difficult decision to temporarily pause all campaign activities. This pause affects all outreach, content, and advocacy efforts previously underway.
This decision respects the requests of community members and legal counsel who have expressed concerns about continuing at this time. We remain committed to the cause but recognize the importance of proceeding with caution and respect for all involved.
Why We've Paused the Campaign
Community Request
2 members and other key community members have formally requested that we suspend campaign activities. We honor their wishes and recognize their central role in this issue.
Legal Considerations
Concerns have been raised about potential liability and legal risks associated with continuing the campaign. Our legal counsel has advised caution to prevent unintended consequences.
Protection of Individuals

This pause represents a responsible approach to advocacy that prioritizes the wellbeing of those most affected by the water shutoff crisis.
