NORTHGLENN: As public concern grows over the unprecedented actions taken during the first two months of Donald Trump’s second Presidency, residents of freshman Republican Rep. Gabe Evans’s congressional district have repeatedly called on Evans to hold a town hall. After weeks of no response, the residents of the district, with the assistance of local advocacy groups, have announced a People’s Town Hall in a church next door to Rep. Evans’ District Office. The Congressman has been invited to the Town Hall, but he has not confirmed his attendance. Residents of the district will gather to share their experiences, questions and concerns related to the administration’s and Congress’s actions.

“We’ve repeatedly asked Congressman Evans to hold a town hall,” said Jacob Stevens, a Thornton resident. “We’ve sent the emails, made the phone calls, met with his staff, and we’ve protested outside his office for the past three weeks. We are his constituents and we have questions and concerns. We need him to communicate directly with his community.”

“In less than two months, Donald Trump with the total support of Gabe Evans has plunged the federal government and the American economy into chaos,” said ProgressNow Colorado executive director Sara Loflin. “From thousands of federal workers who have lost their jobs to the impending cuts to Medicaid and other essential social safety nets set to devastate working families in Evans’ district, Gabe Evans owes his constituents answers and not more excuses. We’re calling on Gabe Evans to come to Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church next door to Evans’ Northglenn office next Saturday, and to promise to protect the institutions Elon Musk and Donald Trump are working at this moment to destroy.”

WHAT: The People’s Town Hall: Where is Gabe Evans?
WHEN: Saturday, March 22 at 1:00PM
WHERE: Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church, 10785 Melody Dr. Northglenn
WHO: Residents of Colorado’s Eighth Congressional District, Colorado Working Families Power, TWN Indivisible, ProgressNow Colorado, CIRC Action Fund, Cobalt, Sierra Club
