Denver Immigrant Legal Services Fund Conversation with Mayor Hancock
RMIAN is excited to invite you to join a conversation featuring Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock and others, celebrating the Denver Immigrant Legal Services Fund, on Tuesday, August 25 from 7-8 PM Eastern/5-6 PM Mountain. You can register for this conversation here.
As local governments invest in programs that protect the health, safety, and dignity of their communities, the Denver Immigrant Legal Services Fund (the Fund) is needed more than ever by Denver's immigrant and refugee communities. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, ICE has continued to tear apart Denver families and stoke fear within the community. The Fund is providing essential resources for deportation defense and affirmative relief applications for many Denver residents.
Mayor Hancock will be joined by:
Atim Otii, Director of the Denver Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs
Mekela Goehring, Executive Director of the Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network
Catalino Alvarado, a client of the Fund
Alexis, a client of the Fund
Elizabeth Kenney, Associate Program Director, the Vera's SAFE Network
Dace West, Vice President of Community Impact at the Denver Foundation
