We were working on a story that aired this morning: https://t.co/KsHe3QXgeK

“For the @CityofDenver, equity is achieved when a person's social identity no longer predicts life outcomes. Essentially, what equity means is there are no disparities,” said Denver’s Interim Chief Equity Officer Kimberly Desmond.

ICYMI: Denver is taking actionable steps to target institutional racism by:
1️⃣Replacing the term ‘illegal alien’ with ‘worker without authorization'
2️⃣Updating the Denver Revised Municipal Code to prohibit discrimination based on a protective hairstyle. https://t.co/YRQNmTFdsA

...but simply because their voting power has the potential to turn this nation in a better direction. Voting is an act of service to our families, our local communities and out nation. It should be protected at all costs. (3/3)

[Michael B. Hancock @MayorHancock]

This is an attempt to silence the voices and stomp on the will of every day, hardworking Americans who have historically been left out of the voting process. Not because they lack desire to participate... (2/3)

Voting rights in America are under attack. As we reflect on the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the dangerous rebirth of Jim Crow laws being enacted in multiple states across the U.S. is enraging. (1/3)

Ms. Opal Lee is an incredible woman – and it was my honor to welcome her to the White House. Thanks to her relentless dedication, Juneteenth is now a federal holiday.

[Governor Jared Polis @GovofCO]

Happy #Juneteenth

This special day is an opportunity to honor the rich and storied history and culture of the African American community here in Colorado and across the country, but it also reminds us to cast our eyes forward, and imagine a bolder, and brighter future.

[Michael B. Hancock @MayorHancock]

I had a great time in Five Points checking out #Juneteenth! There’s a little something for the whole family. You still have time to make it down or stop by tomorrow for the second day. https://t.co/x3GimhODD7

With the rise of violence against our Asian American Pacific Islander population in cities across our nation, I want to make it clear that bias-motivated crimes will not be tolerated in the @CityofDenver. (1/4)
