The Colorado Right to Rest Fest rocked!! We stood up and spoke up strong together!

January 27, 2018 by Jonathan Leave a Comment

At least 200 people came out to stand up for the Right to Rest at the Fest on Monday!!! People came from cities across the state including Fort Collins, Boulder, and many nearby suburbs where homeless folks in Denver have been swept. Over 30 people spoke calling for the Right to Rest. At least 16 of these people came from the streets with lived experience of homelessness and the inescapable need for this bill. We had tons of delicious food provided by FNB, Sexy Pizza, and Blue Point Bakery. Bike’s were fixed. Cloths was gather. Everyone (should have) gotten a R2R t-shit. And good times were had by all!!!

Watch video of the Fest here

Stay tuned for updates on the hearing date and committee. Get ready to start calling legislators soon to tell them you are counting on their vote for our survival…! It will take all of us speaking up…

Dear WRAP Friends and Family, As 2025 closes, we’ Dear WRAP Friends and Family, 
As 2025 closes, we’re reminded that the people who fight hardest for justice often face the harshest attacks. It’s going to take ALL of us to weather this storm and build the new, more just world that we know is possible and that we all deserve.

The recent decision by the Denver City Council not The recent decision by the Denver City Council not to fund shelters for unhoused families has significant implications for the community. This action not only jeopardizes the safety of vulnerable children but also raises critical questions about local governance and social responsibility. We must advocate for housing justice and support policies that protect the rights of all community members. #HousingJustice #CommunityAdvocacy #SocialResponsibility #Denver #Unhoused
