On International Women’s Day, join four Colorado women in Sanctuary in launching their statewide effort to "Create a Path."
AFSC-Colorado is inviting the community to walk with Ingrid, Araceli, Rosa and Sandra to Create a Path to status for Coloradans.
March 8 is International Women’s Day, when four women in Colorado who have claimed Sanctuary, will announce a new statewide effort focused on keeping families together and Colorado strong called “The People’s Resolution: We Can Create a Path." The women hail originally from Peru, El Salvador and Mexico. Together, they have lived in Colorado 77 years. The Colorado Sanctuary women are committed to "Creating a Path" -- not only for themselves but for the hundreds of thousands of Coloradan immigrants they represent.
Ingrid Encalada Latorre explains “We’ve been working for months. Consulting with lawyers, faith communities and our fellow immigrants. We want to engage as many people in Colorado as we can to talk about concrete steps Congress can take today or tomorrow. We can be patient no longer.”
