Casa de Paz (House of Peace) offers free lodging and meals to guests visiting their loved ones locked inside the immigrant detention center in Colorado. We also open the doors of our home to people who have been released from detention and need a place to stay as they make plans to get home to their families.
Colorado Statewide Parent Coalition recently joined with the organization formerly known as ELPASO (Engaged Latino Parents Advancing School Outcome). CSPC is a grassroots movement, empowering a critical mass of well-informed and skilled Latina/o/x parents to ensure that their children arrive at kindergarten ready to learn. CSPC involves parents at the most basic level of child growth and development, before they enter the public education system. Volunteers are needed to support planning for a Posadas Party for the Latina/o/x community in December. Contact: socialjusticecouncil@bvuuf.org
