Message from Local 2086:
We are reaching out to our fellow firefighters across Colorado to ask for your support in spreading the word about a critical ballot measure that will directly impact our ability to serve our community. Ballot Initiative 7A will appear on the ballot this fall in South Metro Fire Rescue's district. This measure is essential to help address the devastating $50+ million annual budget shortfall created by Colorado House Bill 24B-1001. Without this support, we face significant cuts that will compromise our capacity to protect the residents we've sworn to serve. We need your help. If you, your family members, or friends live within South Metro Fire Rescue's district, we ask that you encourage them to vote YES on 7A. Even if you don't live in our district, sharing this message within your networks could make all the difference. We are grateful for your solidarity and support. Together, we stand strong for the communities we serve and the profession we're proud to represent.
