I understand the importance of maintaining peace and order in our community, <br />I believe this ordinance infringes on our constitutional rights to protest and free speech. It is our <br />fundamental right to peacefully assemble and voice our grievances on the state of issues that pertain <br />to us. The ability to speak upon and challenge the actions and policies of our local government is the <br />very essence of democracy. Imposing this ordinance disproportionately affects marginalized <br />communities and hinders their ability to advocate for change effectively and make their voices heard. <br />This ordinance sets a dangerous precedent by prioritizing convenience over constitutionally protected <br />rights. I urge the council members to reconsider this ordinance and explore alternative solutions that <br />uphold both public safety and our constitutional freedom. <br />Cordially, <br />Lizbeth Ramirez <br />SHS Student <br />1 <br />
