🚨 Vote NO on Referred Measure 2G! Splitting Denver’s at-large City Council races into two separate contests would limit voter choice and invite political gamesmanship. The fact that it’s backed by dark-money group One Main Street says it all. Read more:

A mailer arrived this week supporting the measure and backed by a dark money group.

We’re calling on Denver to “support nonprofits that prevent harm, stop it before it escalates, and support people impacted by crime and violence – not just fund the systems that respond afterward with police, courts and incarceration.” https://t.co/GKrd9l4Qo1

This year's budget is tight, so let's make every public safety dollar count. Invest in community-led programs that curb crime, interrupt violence, support victims, and cut recidivism. It's not just about responding to problems; it's about strengthening our neighborhoods.

Denver invests more than half a billion dollars annually in addressing crime after it occurs, with police, courts, and jails. Our polling reveals a different desire: voters are eager to invest in community programs designed to stop harm before it starts. https://t.co/ojZVp1jPZb

📢 Denver, it's time to Get Real about public safety! We're urging Mayor Johnston and City Council to invest in what truly works. By empowering local organizations to tackle safety challenges right where they live, we can create genuinely safer communities.

“Our whole point is, hold the department to a higher standard of performance instead of just giving them more beds. The Department of Corrections is in this weird situation where the worse they do, the more money they get.” - Christie Donner, CCJRC https://t.co/MBJp8efZRr

The Joint Budget Committee approved a $2.8 million budget request from the Colorado Department of Corrections to add 153 more prison beds.

Yesterday, the No More Prisons coalition sent a letter to the JBC urging them to vote NO. Colorado cannot afford to put more money into prisons when DOC has tools available to responsibly manage the prison population without expansion. 📄Read the letter:
