COVID-19 lanzó a nuestra comunidad al fuego y solo subrayó los problemas que hemos estado abordando durante décadas. Hemos perdido a tantos jóvenes debido a la violencia armada, hemos visto un aumento de la desigualdad educativa, la falta de acceso a alimentos saludables, la inseguridad de la vivienda y mucho más. Sin embargo, dentro de todo este caos, hemos visto a nuestra comunidad dar un paso adelante de una manera hermosa. Los vecinos comenzaron a organizar importantes distribuciones de alimentos, a buscar y solicitar servicios de salud mental, a trabajar con los jóvenes para organizar eventos divertidos y seguros… apoyándose unos a otros.
Esta es la resiliencia.
On behalf of Montbello Organizing Committee, we would like to express how incredibly grateful we are for your participation and resilience. After more than a year of isolation we were able to overcome challenges and turn up together. We are Montbello strong!
A special thank you to our sponsors: The Athena Project, CityWide Bank, Councilwoman Gilmore, Councilman Herndon, City of Denver’s Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs, The Confluence Center, Colorado Black Arts Movement, City of Denver’s Office of Children’s Affairs, Kiewit and Gilmore Construction. This event would have not been made possible without your generosity and support. Together we fed our neighbors, connected one another to resources, lifted each other up, and so much more.
