To all our participants, sponsors, prospective attendees, and supporters;
Good afternoon. As you are likely aware, the Aurora Police Department has said it cannot supply enough sworn officers to provide Parade security, and has tasked us with finding officers from other jurisdictions to close the gap. We were notified that we had until 12PM today to do so, or our Special Events permit would be revoked at that time.
We have not been able to close the gap, despite the tireless efforts of our Safety team lead and many supporters offering their assistance. As a result, our permit is now revoked.
However, we’re not giving up. Our position has been misrepresented, and we’re making every effort to keep the parade as scheduled.
Thank you for your steadfast support, and please hang tight.
