Social Justice Advocacy

In response to historic challenges our community is facing, we've come together to begin building an anti-racist/inclusion excellence framework that is co-created with partner organizations and the broader community. Our goal is to create a framework that organizations can use to ensure they're doing their work more equitably and commitments our neighborhood can hold itself accountable to.  We are also working in specific areas that affect our community:

Racial Justice Framework:  Co-creating a framework for organizations in Montbello in order to create spaces for ALL to participate

Affordable Housing: Housing as become a luxury in Denver, with many residents unable to afford market price rent

Education Reform: We advocate for equitable education for students in Montbello

Food Sovereignty: Working with policymakers we advocate for food access systems that include a continuum of charitable food systems to sustainable sovereignty.
