On June 15th, the Upper South East Communities Coalition instructed our legal team to pursue an appeal at the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to try and reverse the determination of the Eastern District Court denying a Preliminary Injunction for the Southeast Connector until our case can be heard on its merits.

The Preliminary Injunction would require the Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe County to halt all work on the entire project until the merits hearing.

The Coalition asked the public for direction on this issue and the public overwhelmingly supported this action and donated sufficient funds for this appeal in 5 days.
