Our monthly meeting of the Second Tuesday is coming up next Tuesday, February 11th at 7 PM at the Park Hill United Methodist Church at Montview Blvd and Glencoe St. in Denver. Won't you please join us!

We have invited PJ Damico to organize the meeting this month to focus on being homeless in Denver. Here below is PJ's description of his plans for our conversation.

What is really happening to Denver’s Homeless Neighbors

Now 9 years into the 10 year Road Home to End Homelessness there are more homeless people living on the streets of Denver than ever before except that they continue to disappear.  As Triangle Park and Eddie Mestos Park were recently made off limits to the homeless community, they have literally no place to go.  If they dare try to sleep in public they face the very real threat of being arrested.  How do we end homelessness?  This is really the wrong question.  What is Denver’s responsibility as a civic community to create intentional spaces and opportunities for our indigent neighbors?  This is the conversation that remains critical to our collective well-being.  We will facilitate an open dialogue with a few of Denver’s neighbors who reside in the shadows outside of plain view and look to them for insights on how to become a more humane city.

I would encourage participants to listen to the following Open Letter to the Mayor from my good friend, musician and activist, Molina Speaks.
