FW: [ECETI News] ECETI Ranch Needs your Support!

[Guest guest]

A message from Gilliland

ECETI Ranch is asking for your help to fight discrimination from County

Officials.

ECETI Ranch is currently facing challenges from the county to stay open

to our friends and family for skywatching and small spiritual

gatherings. We have been fighting this battle for over a year and faced

demonstrated discrimination, bias and harassment from the land use

commission and planning department of Klickitat County because our

views are different that those shared by county officials. In addition

to land use challenges we have also been told that none of our

buildings (including our main residence) are allowed and/or permitted

and we do not have the right to reside in any building on the property

(regardless of necessary permits on file). We are also a working farm

and committed to creating a sustainable lifestyle as a model for a more

sustainable way of living.

As a result of these ongoing challenges, we have had to hire an

attorney specializing in these matters to represent us in this process.

We have a court date scheduled for June. The legal fees for this battle

are mounting and at this time we are not able to meet those financial

needs as it has drained our available resources. We have been told that

our legal fees are estimated to be $15,000 in order to resolve all

aspects of these challenges. Our legal team has advised that we have

a solid case and demonstrated bias from county officials but that it is

not possible to fight this battle without the financial resources. We

are confident we will be successful with financial contributions from

our friends to make this possible.

We are asking for support from our friends and ECETI family to allow us

to continue this very important work.

We have been in existence for 25 years as a non-profit organization and

continue to offer a variety of events both onsite and online, many of

which are free to the public. All other activities are on a donation

basis as we are a non-profit organization. We have never asked for this

type of support and we hesitate to do so now in light of the current

economic and social unrest being experienced all around us but we have

no choice than to reach out to each of you for assistance. Any amount

helps....

This work is more important now than ever and it is through your

support that we can continue to be of service to those that are on the

path to self mastery and awakening.

the earth.
