Chiara D’Angelo’s courageous tree-sit inspired members of the Bainbridge Island community to create this humorous, but powerful video to rally residents to protest the construction of a commercial shopping center. Unfortunately, the trees have been removed, but the community is still petitioning to stop the national chain stores from moving in and instead allow buildings and spaces such as a park, an urban farm and local business that serve the community.
