Health and Land Intersect: One North Denver Community's Response
Health Equity. Community Activism. Neighborhoods.
Thursday, May 23, 2024 | 6:00 PM
The Center for Colorado Women’s History | In-Person
Member: $10 | Nonmember: $15
Join The Center for Colorado Women's History, High Country News, and the Globeville Elyria-Swansea (GES) Coalition for a conversation on how land and health intersect and shape each other in north Denver. Across the West, highways and rail lines have long divided communities of color, taking land away from long-time residents and threatening the health of those who remain. But residents have been fighting back.
As a follow-up to High Country News' feature on the paradox of green space in north Denver, GES Coalition Director Nola Miguel and longtime resident and head of the GES Tree Planting Project, Yadira Sanchez, will speak about their family histories in the neighborhood, as well as their current efforts to reclaim land, increase green space, and improve health conditions in GES.
High Country News contributing editor Raksha Vasudevan will moderate the 45-minute conversation, which will be presented in both English and Spanish. The conversation will be followed by a Q&A.
