Witch Slapped, the Munns, and fight against City Hall.

City Hall’s Witch Hunt
We never thought we’d have to ask for this. But right now, everything we’ve built — our family, our business, our sanctuary — is under attack. And it’s not because of hard times or bad luck.

It’s because of corruption. Because we told the truth. Because City Hall decided that our family, and Witch Slapped, needed to be punished for daring to speak out.

How It Began
Since January, the City of Pittsfield has targeted us with what can only be described as a modern-day witch hunt.

Gary — my husband — gave 8 years of flawless service to the City. No write-ups. No discipline. No complaints. Just dedication, integrity, and hard work.

But when Gary reported waste, cronyism, abuse of power, and corruption at City Hall, the response wasn’t justice. It was retaliation.

They dragged Gary through bogus investigations and slander.
They harassed him, smeared his name, and ultimately fired him — because he dared to call out misconduct.
And they didn’t stop at Gary.

They came for me.
They came for Witch Slapped.

City Hall tried to poison our reputation. They tried to starve us out by draining our resources, forcing us to fight for our survival. They made it harder for us to serve our community, to run our business, to do the good we’ve always done.

They wanted to silence us. They wanted us gone.

What’s At Risk
Witch Slapped isn’t just a shop. It’s a sanctuary. A community space where we feed the hungry, clothe the cold, provide mutual aid, and create a safe, magical space for all who need it.

But right now — because of City Hall’s witch hunt — Witch Slapped is hanging by a thread.

Our family’s income is gone. Attorney fees are crushing. And the only way we could survive and fight back without your help would be to sell off everything at Witch Slapped, close our doors, and give up the sanctuary we’ve built together. Everything we have is invested into Witch Slapped. Help our family fight back.

That’s what City Hall wants. They want the Munn family broken, Witch Slapped closed, and the truth buried.

But we refuse to let them win.

The Fight
We’ve got an attorney who is ready to take this battle all the way — someone who sees through the corruption and is hungry to expose it.

But legal battles cost money — and City Hall is counting on us to run out of resources before we can shine a light on their wrongdoing.

How You Can Help
Donate — every single dollar is a strike against corruption and a lifeline for Witch Slapped.

Together, We Can Win
This isn’t just about us. This is about every family who’s been bullied by power.
It’s about every small business that’s been targeted for daring to stand up.
It’s about fighting back against corruption — and winning.

We need you. Witch Slapped needs you. The community needs you. Let’s show City Hall what happens when people stand together and say: ENOUGH.

With love, fire, and endless gratitude,
Danielle, Gary, all 8 kids, 4 dogs and the Witch Slapped Community
