🚨 Urgent Update: Take Action to Protect Colorado Springs! 🚨
Dear Supporters,
We are at a critical juncture in our fight to preserve the unique character of Colorado Springs. The City Council is considering a radical and permanent change to our skyline by allowing skyscrapers downtown. This is our LAST SHOT to make our voices heard and ensure the will of the people is respected. Please continue to use your email and social media to share the petition and updates to drive the signatory numbers as high as possible before Monday. Download the Q/R code and make a flyer and walk your neighborhood street. The developers are using all their money and might to get this first skyscraper passed so all the others planned will soon fill our skies with glass and concrete not only blocking views but creating and densifying pollution as well as heat islands.
📅 Important Date: Monday, June 24th, 2024 at 1 PM 📍 Location: Colorado Springs City Hall, 107 N. Nevada Ave., #300
