Today, I attended a press conference at the apartment complexes where national and local media have falsely reported that gangs have taken over.
Instead, we heard from residents who debunked this narrative and called out the slumlord responsible for forcing them to live in inhumane conditions.
This is a thread of what I saw and heard.

With eviction numbers continuing to climb across the state, we’re looking forward to working with the FTC and the attorney general’s office to take action against “abusive and predatory practices” by corporate landlords. @brianeason@ColoradoSun https://t.co/C0hEoGWVgH
@MAKEMANGREAT @harris_wins That's not fair. Just because you can't read doesn't mean people haven't given you five reasons. Kind of impossible to provide it to you, really.
“Tenant protections can help level the playing field between landlords and tenants, rectifying the longstanding power imbalance that exists for the lowest-income and most marginalized renters across the country.”

Here @CoEvictionDef , we’ve been working to curb predatory towing at mobile home parks and apartment complexes. Today HB1051- a bill we worked on with @rep_boesenecker@SenadoraJulie@KevinPriola and Tisha Mauro became law.

The “guy” on the left was so depressed he had trouble getting out of bed every day. He’d get drunk every night because he didn’t want to be alive anymore. He knew he was a girl since he was a toddler, but also knew family would disown him if they knew.
But one day she took agency over her own life and decided to live authentically, rather than fulfill the gender role expected of her by society. Rather than kill herself she decided to try hormones and see if it made her feel better. It did. Within a few days her will to live returned.
And today, despite being disowned by her entire family and everyone she ever knew, despite intense discrimination, and despite constant harassment and hatred from people like you, she’s happier than she’s ever been.
I didn’t kill anyone. I saved her life.

@News9mm@jaredpolis@GovofCO This really proves you didn't read the bill since there's literally an exception for this and this situation doesn't apply at all. But as per usual, the only ones upset about this bill are those too stupid to read it, or to rile those too stupid to realize how wrong this is.
