Phenomenal town hall on wildfire tonight by CCOB and North Metro Fire Rescue District! They debriefed on response to the January 5th fire. Their competence and instinct was clear. Excellent job addressing resident concerns; my neighbors and I left feeling relief to have these folks keeping us safe!
I'm so proud to live in a state that wants residents to participate in democracy!
We know that universal mail ballot delivery increases voter turnout, especially for low propensity residents who wouldn't otherwise let their voice be heard [see reference]. We have to protect it! βπ»
There's no time like the present to make a plan to reduce outdoor water usage, and this guide has a bunch of resources to help you make your yard work with our climate. We will likely face drought restrictions again this Summer. Use less water, fewer chemicals, and enjoy more happy pollinators! ππ¦

A giant wall sticky note that reads: Equity is a potluck bursting with diverse contributions: everyone contributes, no one is the star, the collective creates fulfillment that an individual cannot. #tasteslikegravy

Even when there's work to be done canvassing, there's still time for play! I walk the Lake Link Trail every day and have never been over to Josh's Pond until today. We are so blessed to have easy access to this treasure. Broomfield's 40% open space goal is one of many things that makes us special!

I've taught digital citizenship classes, and I am keenly aware how dissatisfying many find the digital experience. It doesn't have to be this way. Glad to see scientists studying "what makes a healthy, vibrant conversation online." For now, cheers to Bluesky cultivating connection and enthusiasm π
