Access Arvada: ADA Transition Plan ♿
The City is updating the ADA Transition Plan to continually assess progress and needs since the plan's inception in 2020. As a part of this process, the City is seeking community feedback about the plan's priorities and lived experiences with accessibility in Arvada.
🙋♀️ Speak up!
Pack the legislature! This Monday, we need to show up for our immigrant community as our legislature discusses SB25-276, a bill that protects residents from federal overreach while they navigate the immigration process. Meet me at the Colorado Capitol from 9:30 to noon to show up for due process, privacy, and protecting everyone in our community.
There is also a phone bank tonight and next week to call people in support of the bill - you can sign up here: https://secure.ngpvan.com/b3CXcdSRykyy8BK7gS22kw2
As always, feel free to contact me by replying to this email! And if you live in District Two, don’t forget to mention it when you reach out!
