📢 REQUEST FOR COMMUNITY SUPPORT 📢

NIMBYs have petitioned the City to close the Native American-inclusive Safe Outdoor Space. The Denver Board of Adjustment is scheduled to vote on the request this Tuesday, January 18th, 2022 at 9am. Tell the Board of Adjustment to vote NO on this bad faith request! Click here to TAKE ACTION NOW: https://bit.ly/SaveNativeSOS

Here's some background:

In August and September 2021, unhoused members of the Denver Indigenous Refugee Camp organized a massive outpouring of grassroots support for this solution in a bid to avoid the city's planned violent displacement of their camp outside of Four Winds American Indian Council. While the Mayor refused to stop the sweep, the city lent its support for the establishment of a Native American-inclusive SOS site at 8th Ave & Elati Street, the region's first and ONLY transitional living space specifically designed to serve unhoused Native people.

In the run-up to the site opening, many neighbors were supportive of the effort, with some sharing baked goods and even offering to volunteer to help with site construction. However, the neighborhood NIMBYs launched an all-out assault, putting up signs with anti-homeless slogans, generating negative news coverage about the site's opening, spreading lies about the land being contaminated, and even heckling and aggressively disrupting a private, traditional ground blessing conducted by one of the leaders of the Denver Indigenous Refugee Camp.

Now, with a bad faith appeal chock full of meritless, unsubstantiated, and flat-out false claims, they're asking the city to close the site and kick all 35 residents back out onto the streets and into the cold with no other options. They clearly don't care if our relatives die from exposure, so long as it's not in their back yard.

We've been here before. When the Federal Government's Indian Relocation program (which was headquartered in Denver) was in full-swing in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, neighborhoods would often use many of these same exact tactics, including organizing neighborhood petitions, to oppose Native families becoming their new neighbors. Now, roughly 60 years later, we have the opportunity to take action to prevent history from repeating itself. Tell the Board of Adjustment to vote NO on Case #111-2021 today!
