WHAT IS LIPS UP TO IN JULY/AUGUST?

What is LIPS?

LIPS is a collaboration between COLOR and Latina Initiative, the Latinas Increasing Political Strength (LIPS) program engages young Latinas age 14 to 20 in the 202 and 203 precincts of west Denver and throughout Colorado to participate in community events and to be involved in civic issues, including leadership development, voter outreach, political advocacy and more.

COLOR is so proud to have graduated the 1st class of LIPS! We recently had a retreat for the new LIPS students and have a lot of exciting things in store.

Check back often for info about LIPS. For a calendar of LIPS events visit COLOR's calendar of events, search for "LIPS" on our site, or call Miriam 'Mimi' Madrid at 303-393-0382 for additional information.

Hilda says: "There are millions of things to do for our community, the only thing we need is the positive attitude to make it happen."

COLORistas-

As you may have seen in the news, 11 state legislators from Colorado, members of the GOP Study Committee of Colorado (RSCC) are visiting Arizona with their counterparts to discuss SB 1070, other laws that apply to illegal immigration and more. These 11 members will be introducing legislation similar to SB-1070 in Colorado next year. This is a distraction to Colorado's real concerns. We need CIR at the Federal level. This pushes Colorado in the wrong direction. Colorado's elected officials should be focusing on the real concerns of Colorado, like jobs and the economy, rather than playing political games 3 months before the election.
