Just as I was starting to fundraise to continue my fight for a street use permit for a City March in Santa Fe for No Kings, this message from Santa Fe City Manager arrived. Victory!
@heidilifeldman
Heh, some fascist asshats finally talked to the (other) lawyers πŸ˜‚
@me_valentijn I've been copying the City Attorney on every last communication I've been having with these guys!
@heidilifeldman awesome, congratulations, that is a great victory for you!

@heidilifeldman w00t!!

It was bonkers they kept clinging to the idea of billing you exorbitantly. Esp from my perspective as a red-state blue admiring how much more progressive we’re told Santa Fe is.

@heidilifeldman are they still trying to charge you a packet?
@PizzaDemon No, because they have decided on their own initiative to do what I wanted for March 28, which was to close streets to vehicles so people can march. Their permit requirements are still unlawful, an issue I will continue to address.
@heidilifeldman congrats from the other side of the world - democracy FTW!
@heidilifeldman woohoo! Congrats!πŸ’ƒπŸ’πŸŽ‰
@heidilifeldman turns out, sometimes things are possible. Kudos and congratulations!

@heidilifeldman

Tha k you for bringing this to our attention. How many other cities have obscured laws to disenfranchise free speech h?

@heidilifeldman the city lawyers must've been like "yeah, just close the street. you don't want this heat"
@heidilifeldman we get the government we are willing to demand! Congratulations!

@dhpomerantz

@heidilifeldman Woooohoooo! This is fantastic news! Well done!!!!
@heidilifeldman Now lets get other city officials all around to cooperate with constitutional law!
