For 18 years, community leaders and organizations throughout Colorado have come together to advocate for issues impacting the lives of the Hispanic and migrant population. At the Latino/a Advocacy Day, communities directly voice their concerns about key areas of change identified by the community.

The reflections and discussions at the event are valuable for elected officials to prioritize their agendas. Panelists and attendees are expected to highlight the work that Colorado Latinos have done to drive progressive changes in the legislature for over seventeen years.

Bills of Interest

Organizers expect the participation of around 300 people from across the state of Colorado. Some of the bills to be discussed to broaden their scope include HB24-1134 – Adjustments to Tax Deductions to Reduce Burden, and H24-1323 – School Graduation Attire.

“We will come together to advocate for issues that affect our lives as Latinos. This is an opportunity for new activists to learn how to get involved in the community and for seasoned activists to continue expressing their concerns to elected officials,” said Aurea Bolaños Perea, spokesperson for the organizing committee.

Visiting Representatives at the Capitol

After two days of discussions on Saturday the 16th and Sunday the 17th, the event will conclude with a final outreach day on the steps of the Capitol building in Denver on Monday, March 18th. On the same day, over a hundred community activists will visit their representatives at the Capitol to advocate for the bills of their interest.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
