Includes brief background information on East5ide Unified and how to get connected. Best paired with the Action Plan and Logic Model to see full picture of focus.

Further fleshes out the Action Plan with long-term goals, activities, etc.

East5ide Unified developed a community-driven Action Plan that provides a shared vision for creating a community where all young children are valued, healthy and thriving.

On Monday October 29th Chuck and Kellie gathered additional potential Anchor Institution partners (Children’s Museum, Denver Art Museum, Denver Foundation, etc) together at the Canopy with Emily, Jodi, and Caila to discuss what they might achieve together as a group. These folks have be invited to the November 8th ABCD meeting to listen in, and will be meeting over the next few months to clarify what it means to be and “Anchor Institution” and then weave in with the council (think if you might want to represent the East5ide in this group!).

In September 2018, the EU council/community/leaders came together to work out their plan for the future of EU - building relationships, connections, and understanding to lead to roles and routines.

RESIST FORWARD SUMMIT An unprecedented gathering in Denver, CO

Sensing a growing hunger for unity, organization and finding common goals within Denver’s progressive community, Dr. Timothy Tyler, Pastor at Denver’s iconic Shorter Community AME Church, has stepped forward to organize the Resist Forward Summit on Saturday, June 10 from 8:30am to 4:00pm. It will be held at the church at 3100 Richard Allen Ct. in NE Denver.

Local Indivisible Groups have joined Dr. Tyler in spearheading the Summit, which will bring together more than 25 diverse human rights organizations working for social and economic justice on behalf of all races, creeds, colors, and sexual orientations in the Denver Metro Area. 

“The Resist Forward Summit will be an opportunity for freedom fighters and potential activists to come together” says Dr. Tyler. “They will join forces to fight the current political and social atmosphere of fear and racism threatening to roll back
decades of progress made in our city, our nation and our world.”

The event will feature Dr. Raphael Warnock, Senior Pastor of the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, spiritual home of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Jeanette Vizguerra, one of Time Magazine’s “100 most influential people,” and a mother of 4 who lived in Denver’s First Unitarian Church for 86 days to avoid immigration authorities until she was given a stay of removal until March 2019. Round table discussions of social and economic justice issues faced by these communities Effective communication training, tools and strategies Wrap-up non-violent action for social justice Make a note in your calendars, write it on your news crew’s assignment board. This will be a major community event organizers hope is just the beginning of coalition building throughout Colorado.
