Vote no on 2E! In 2015, the City of Denver promised no new taxes for developing the National Western Complex. Now they want to mortgage our future on an arena.
A MASSIVE THANK YOU to all of our volunteers, every person who donated to our grassroots campaign, and everyone who voted NO on 2E! This win wouldn't have been possible without YOU. People power > special interests & corporate money
Sarah Lake of @NoArenaBond: "Tuesday’s early results were a testament to grassroots organizing in the face of a massive fundraising disadvantage." Arena supporters raised > $500K at end of September; #NoOn2E raised around $3,000 total.

In today’s Denver Post - how 2E pads the pockets of developers and overlooks Denver’s most pressing needs

The city is offering GES one-fifth of a penny for every dollar going to National Western. This is not a seat at the table, it's an attempt to buy community silence.
Do better Denver. Give communities a real seat at the table, not payouts.

As Denver changes, communities must have a seat at the table. We have allocated $400K for GES advisors to help guide the National Western Center redevelopment by ensuring neighborhood residents advocate for what they want. Learn more at https://t.co/vjHVoTIHeY @DiscoverTheWest
Let's GOTV for No On 2E! Yadira Sanchez and her son Ruben greet morning commuters in GES. Thanks for all the honks of support Denver!

So you're saying developers and landlords increased profits while renters and average folk scraped by? Not surprising at all. And exactly what 2E will do - pad the pockets of developers while ignoring pressing needs of Denverites
#NoArenaBond#NoOn2E#RecoveryNotRodeo
With only a week left until Election Day (Nov. 2), we’re in our final push to raise funds for our digital ads. Help us get the word out on the truth behind 2E: higher taxes, irresponsible development, and more broken promises. Join us in saying NO to 2E by donating $25 today.
The fact you have to drive by several unhoused camps to get to National Western says it all. Why spend $200 mill on a fancy Arena when we have record numbers of people living on the streets? #NoOn2E#RecoveryNotRodeo#NoArenaBond
Alfonso Espino of the GES Coalition: "We overwhelmingly reject the use of our vulnerability, of our suffering, to uphold these projects...that do absolutely nothing...What does an Arena do to solve the housing crisis that my neighbors are going through"
