STOP THE BAN PROTECT JOBS
Ballot Title Denver Voters Will See This Fall
Shall the voters of the City and County of Denver adopt an ordinance prohibiting slaughterhouses, and, in connection, beginning January 1, 2026, prohibiting the construction, maintenance, or use of slaughterhouses within the City; and requiring the City to prioritize residents whose employment is affected by the ordinance in workforce training or employment assistance programs?
The title refers to “slaughterhouses,” but there is only one USDA-inspected slaughterhouse in Denver. This measure targets that one business.
This measure misleads voters into thinking that the employee-owners who lose their jobs will somehow be compensated. But there are no guarantees that they will get the help they need or any compensation.
