The other news is that End the Muni will likely not make it (Still ~1,000 signatures short with one week to go).

I wanted to highlight the part of this story that choked me up. https://twitter.com/shayshinecastle/status/1266409711055724544">https://twitter.com/shayshine...

Organizer Patrick Murphy has been the only one from his campaign collecting signatures. (Outside of collaboration with other campaigns.) He told me it was because he didn& #39;t want to expose anyone else to that much risk: contact with 100s of ppl a day.

Then he told me that he himself has had to self-isolate from his MIL and partner since he started collecting signatures A MONTH AGO. They are immune-compromised. He& #39;s got one more week of collecting (deadline next Friday) then he& #39;ll quarantine for two weeks.

Can you imagine not getting within 6 ft of your partner, not touching them, for 7 WEEKS?

That& #39;s how much this man believes in what he is doing.

Regardless of how you feel about his petition ( I myself have mixed feelings on everything muni) this is what #Boulder residents are willing to do to exercise their constitutional rights.

The question I& #39;m asking myself is, why do they have to? Do we want a society in which people risk so much merely to participate in democracy?

I can& #39;t answer that for you. I just hope you think about it.
