We acknowledge that this land, that we now call Colorado, was originally stewarded by the Apache, Arapaho, Cheyenne, Pueblo, Shoshone, and Ute people. . We are committed to uplifting our community members from these nations who reside alongside us. We are on land stolen from indigenous people, and it is our responsibility to not only do good work here and walk in gratitude, but also to support indigenous movements for justice.

March 8th is International Women's Day and will mark 5 months since the beginning of Israel's latest genocidal campaign in Palestine. For the last 21 years CODEPINK has centered internationalist, anti-imperialist feminism despite the war machine's propaganda and pink washing. This International Women's Day, join us in telling the world that war is NOT feminist and that we demand a permanent ceasefire and liberation for all!
International Women's Day is an important opportunity to unite women's struggles at home and in Palestine by centering reproductive justice internationally. While Biden is bypassing Congress to bomb Gaza and create a devastating reproductive justice nightmare for women there, he is refusing to take unilateral action on reproductive justice here in the US, while continuing to deny care to refugees, displaced people and asylum seekers. DJPC in collaboration with CODEPINK Denver/Boulder, Jewish Voices for Peace, Colorado for Palestine Coalition and Denver Peace Council invite you for a teach in on how our tax dollars are complicit in committing genocide in Gaza, the impact on Palestinian women and children, and what that money can do at home in our communities.
