Vote NO on 2G. It's a costly, unnecessary proposal to push out City Council At Large progressives, doubling campaign costs & dark-money influence.

Rushed through City Council by a single vote, 2G would make elections more expensive when Denver is facing budget cuts and layoffs.

Measure 2G = More $$$, Less Fairness

2G would make it harder for grassroots progressives to run for At-Large Denver City Council — and easier for big-money candidates to win.

Our elections work. We don’t need more expensive, confusing & corporate races.

Hundreds in Denver demanded turning off Flock cameras. Takeaways:

Mayor Johnston lied.
DPD Chief lied.
Flock lied.

They lied that mass surveillance data was safe from ICE & TX abortion trackers. It wasn't.

They lied they had safeguards. They didn't.

Our privacy & public trust isn't for sale.

Join me and Xóchitl 'Sochi' Gaytán - Denver School Board District 2 Director — a proven community grassroots champion for public schools, teachers and students.

We must do with people what billionaire-backed candidates do with money.

Plus we'll have a lot of fun!

📣 Tonight: Latino Community Forum on Police Discipline

While crime prevention programs are cut, DPD's budget keeps growing—& the Chief is trying to weaken civilian oversight through his new plan. With policing being militarized nationally, now is not the time to go backwards.

This press event will address Mayor Johnston's ongoing refusal to turn off mass surveillance Flock cameras and release the audit logs, and his denial that Denver’s Flock data has been misused and shared with ICE and others. It will occur hours before his State of the City event.

I'm proud to endorse @melatkirosco.bsky.social! She's the bold visionary we need in Congress. Rooted in community, she's not beholden to the establishment. She's a fighter for working people.

Melat is the future of our movement and our democracy.
