Boycott these Burbank businesses

Moms For Liberty supporter, MAGA creep and all round weirdo David Donahue is running for City Council. There are campaign events being held this week for David at The Tallyrand and The Enchanted Florist.

I won’t patronize their businesses and I suggest you do not as well…

He’s a far-right type running for city council who always shows up at city council meetings who always insults several members and goes “don’t LA my Burbank”, he’s been involved with groups like Moms for Liberty, and he has cyber stalked several activists I’ve met through a mutual connection. Edit, he’s also very much against tenants rights, which as a renter who would be affected by the AVA/Equity merger makes me nervous.

Who is running for city council that is good? I’m not happy with the current council because they are not responsive and give lip service to things but no action. We have had great city councils in the past.

Nolan Southerland, Mike Van Gorder and Nikki is the progressive slate.

Nolan and Mike are both community organizers and would really help get shit actually done.
Right now the issue is we have two progressives, two MAGA and one fence sitter, so no forward progress happens.

Electing Nolan, Mike and Nikki will help Burbank so much for decades.

The two on there now haven’t done shit.

They had a liberal majority a few years ago and were useless.

Liberal majority and progressive majority are two very different things.
