C+V Community Talk in Partnership with Heritage Months: An Inclusive Future for Latinx People in Colorado

By 2050, Latinx individuals will be the largest share of Colorado’s racial 和 ethnic minority population at more than 33%. What does the future look like for the Latinx community in Colorado? How do we work together to address the inequities that impact the Latinx community?

While the state is getting more diverse, Denver is getting whiter. And more Latinx people are being displaced from gentrifying neighborhoods in Denver than in any other major U.S. 城市. How do we conserve our traditions 和 identity when people are getting displaced from their communities? 

Join us for a discussion about navigating the future in Colorado as a Latinx community member.
