If you are not aware, there is a movement to remove the historical monument in Lee Square on Palafox, just south of Cervantes, near First Baptist Church. This monument memorializes the confederate dead soldiers from this area and is protected under law, but that has not stopped the push to remove it.
Tomorrow, July 14th, Pensacola City Council is meeting for a special session to potentially decide the fate of the 130 year old monument. This is being ramrodded at a time when the City of Pensacola is under a Code Yellow from Covid-19 as well as our nations civil unrest. If you agree with saving the monument, you can take action as outlined below. The goal for tomorrow is to have the decision delayed. The below instructions can be followed to email the City Council and have your email read aloud at the council meeting since it is closed and no-one is allowed to attend. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE BELOW INSTRUCTIONS:
If you want your voice heard in the meeting here is a step EVERYONE can take...
*******************
To have your EMAIL read aloud DURING the meeting send an email to:
Dkraher@cityofpensacola.com
Put in the subject line:
Letter for 7/14 special meeting
Put in text of email these EXACT words:
Please read into the record.
The rest of your letter needs to be 2 minutes long when read aloud. Don Kraher is only reading 2 minutes worth of your letter. Keep it on point and within the 2 minutes.
*****************
You do NOT need to put full name. First name is enough.
The MAIN talking point is to DELAY THE VOTE!
Pick one or use all of the below reasons...
*Delay until we are out of a city-wide Code Yellow for Covid
*Delay because all this undue stress on city staff and council members weakens their immune system and many are in the AT RISK age. Kraher having to read emails in a mask for 3+ hours is unhealthy and dangerous.
*Delay because it’s been here for 130 years what’s a few more months. Why the rush?
*Delay so both sides can be heard. It took almost 2 years of discussions from citizens regarding naming the $420 million MEMORIAL 3 mile bridge to Gen Chappie James...an African American.
*Delay because many on the other side need their voice heard without repercussions to their businesses for speaking out.
*Delay because many on the side of keeping history are older and not as tech savvy to navigate a virtual meeting.
*Delay until the civil unrest regarding police reform has settled. The 2 issues are not related.
( Send an email for each point using your kid’s email addresses or create one for your dog. Flood Kraher’s email starting TODAY and pray for his health)
