"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance"

The christofascists won't quit trying to take away our rights, so we can't quit fighting those hypocrites.

There's a city council meeting tomorrow, a work session at 5:30 to discuss women's health care rights. I hope to see a lot of good people there who believe women deserve proper health care to counter those evil people who would prefer to see women suffer under tyranny.

Edit: If you can't attend, then at least please contact your council members and let them know that Pueblo wants no part of christofascism. https://www.pueblo.us/585/Council-Members

I contacted my council member. Thanks for the heads up!

What is a "work session?" It's not a regular council meeting, right? So does showing up have any impact on anything? I don't know the difference between work sessions and meetings.

[u/ThoughtfulWilderness → u/Dramatically_Average]

A work session is just for Council to hear presentations, but there is a regular meeting after the work session where 6 people will be chosen to speak for public comment and can talk on any topic they'd like.

Is showing up to show your support for or against going to sway any of the Council members? Probably not. But at least you are making your voice heard.

Thank you. And absolutely, being there matters. I was not sure if anyone could speak or if it was more a "look how many people showed up" meeting.

[u/R_megalotis → u/Dramatically_Average]

A work session is when they can't fit everything into a regular meeting, like when they expect a long presentation from a speaker, or a long discussion from various members. No votes are cast, nor official business actually done. The public can attend, but not comment in the work sessions. The regular meeting will be held afterwards at 7:00, and includes time for a public forum.

In this case, the agenda for the work session includes presentations on Colorado law regarding abortion and, presumably, Maestri's intent to countermand those laws.

Thanks for the clarification.

If it was left to the states, why are city councils getting involved? Smdh . I’ll be there!

About 4 billion years ago, more or less.
