LWV April Briefing: Facts over Fear
For several decades LWV's positions have enabled our organization to advocate on behalf of immigrants' rights and fair, just and dignified treatment under the law. We have partnered with organizations to support DACA-eligible individuals' legal pathways to citizenship. Our Voter Service volunteers have celebrated with New Americans at citizenship ceremonies and offered them voter registration opportunities. Today, LWV is being thwarted in these efforts and has joined in lawsuits that challenge the governmental efforts to threaten and attack our immigrant neighbors even if they are American citizens. One of the most pernicious and damaging trends we are experiencing is that of misinformation, disinformation and even outright lies about our immigrant neighbors. Beyond the information about how to be allies as our city and state have become targets of ICE intimidation and actions, the LWVD Program/Advocacy Committee would like to provide our members and community with factual information about immigrants to counter the myths that underpin justification for anti-immigrant political rhetoric and actions. Our briefing on Tuesday, April 21 will offer a panel of speakers who will highlight the contributions of our immigrant neighbors provide which strengthen our communities and institutions. Among other speakers, we will hear from the Colorado Fiscal Institute and the Spring Institute. Please join us for this final briefing of the year and invite friends. Susan Stark, Co-Director of Program and Advocacy

Denver Mountain Parks Tours - Genesee
Join us for our second Denver Mountain Parks tour. This time at Genesee Park. We will be going on an easy, family-friendly hike. We will be on an ADA accessible paved footpath. The hike will include the buffalo overlook. Acquired in 1914, the herd numbers approximately 50 and continues Denver’s conservation and stewardship efforts, and provides a living link to western history. In addition to the bison, Genesee boasts expansive rolling meadows, mountain valleys, and thick pine forests. The Chief Hosa Lodge, designed by one of Denver’s most famous architects, Jules Jacques Benedict, and built of native stone and logs in 1918, is also located in the park. The Lodge was named for Southern Arapahoe Chief Little Raven, whose nickname was Chief Hosa.
We will meet at the red star highlighting the Patrick House. Take exit 253 off I-70. Make a left and drive over I-70 to the road right before Chief Hosa Lodge. You take a left there, so Chief Hosa is on your right. Go down that road until it forks, then take the left fork and proceed to the parking lot. Keep an eye out for the Lisa for Denver banner to find us.
