Kuschner: Tipping points

We live a world that is currently on the edge of so many things that 350 words cannot begin to express.
1. Climate change and global warming — the globe has experienced the 10 warmest years on record within the past 10 years, according to climate.gov.
2. Political strife and unrest — There are six major conflicts going on around the globe, according to Reuters.
3. Habitat loss — Global wildlife populations have declined by over 73% over the past 50 years, according to WWF.
4. Violence — Life is becoming more violent, shootings are normalized and blaming the other side doesn’t help.
Let’s find common ground by imagining a space where we can all gather, air our thoughts, find common ground, and build a stronger, more inclusive future for the Roaring Fork Valley and beyond. It’s all about weaving our community’s diverse threads into a cohesive, resilient fabric.
We are asking for people to sign a petition at https://www.openpetition.org/us/petition/online/we-need-our-co-3-representative-to-hold-a-town-hall-this-summer# IF you are tired of not hearing back from your local representatives please consider taking a small step toward democratic representation and add your name to over 400 other local residents today.
