In response to the shootings in Dallas and "for the lives lost in St. Paul, Baton Rouge and too often across the nation," yesterday Mayor Michael Hancock issued a call to action in Denver to bring communities together. In response, churches and organizations across metro Denver "are opening up their doors so that together we can mourn, voice concerns and find solutions. We cannot afford to wait a moment longer before we take meaningful action."
