Here is the link to a Twitter thread on Denver's January 2015 community hearing on race, policing, and justice.
This event was held by Denver's Shorter AME Church and Brother Jeff's Cultural Center. The meeting was held after the police shot and killed an unarmed LGBTQ girl, Jessie Hernandez. The meeting brought together the police, politicians, and residents from all around Denver. The hope was to create a place of discussion and a start for reconciliation.
I'm really disappointed in myself, because I did not mention Jessie Hernandez's name in the entire thread. Strange. Here is a link to one Denver Post article about her.
Brother Jeff is one of Denver's best community leaders. Here's a link to his website.
