Colorado's prison recidivism rate is nearly 50%. With the supportive peer housing of the Second Chance Center, participants' recidivism rate is 10%. #HeyNext viewers have raised $26,000 to support their work. I'll match the next fifty $5 donations here: coloradogives.org/sccwordofthank…
SCC covers participants' rent until they find a job, then surrounds them with peer support and resources to stay sober and overcome mental health challenges. They recently added a staffer to focus on helping participants repair relationships with family, a key to success.
When @scccoloradoorg's participants succeed and avoid reoffending, our whole community wins. Their 10% recidivisim rate proves their approach works. Thank you for supporting this non-profit's work in Colorado through this week's Word of Thanks campaign! coloradogives.org/sccwordofthank…
One $5 donation after another adds up! Since 2020, @nexton9news viewers have raised $4,645,763 for Colorado non-profits through their Word of Thanks microgiving campaigns. A full list is here: 9news.com/article/news/l…

NEW: Douglas County Schools board meeting is getting heated as anti-maskers berate the school board. As the Board President issued a "last warning" over crowd interruptions, a man was escorted away by a deputy as he waved something at school board members. #9NEWS #COVID19colorado

UPDATE: Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters (R) abruptly took the stage at MyPillow Guy Mike Lindell's election rigging conference today after a panelist expressed concern that the Mesa County files being publicly reviewed were from a stolen hard drive. #9NEWS #copolitics
"No hard drives that belonged to our equipment were taken off the premises," Peters said. A duck sound quacked loudly in the room. The source of the duck sound was not clear.
Conference emcee Dr Douglas Frank stepped in. "Is there anything else you'd like to say to us?," Frank said. "Because we're not allowed legally to allow you to answer Q&A right now. I just got the notice." Peters then left the stage.
