At their meeting on Tuesday, August 19, the Larimer County Board of County Commissioners issued a proclamation for Women's Right to Vote and Equality Day. The Commissioners "recognize the accomplishments that so many women fought to achieve, and rededicate ourselves to tackling the challenges that remain and expanding opportunity and representation for women and girls in Larimer County and Colorado."

NOCO NOW chapter president, Annmarie Izuel Evans, was one of many invited guests who thanked the Commissioners for their work in support of women in Larimer County.

The plaintiffs allege the new restrictions are motivated by “ideological goals” and aren’t helping them serve vulnerable members of society.
