Community Action Network
Community Organizing at Common Flame
Our Community Action Network focuses on community organizing to bring about structural change on the issues of affordable housing, homelessness and mental health, in an effort to make a difference in Jefferson County. We are a member congregation of Together Colorado, a state-wide organization, for state-wide legislation and other social justice issues.
Common Flame CAN meets Quarterly online. Other months, we meet with the Together Colorado Jeffco Chapter. Visitors are always welcome!

We encourage community involvement, organizing, and advocacy in municipal and county government.
We educate to dispel myths around affordable housing and the unhoused.
We stand against any form of discrimination, oppression, or injustice by ourselves and our institutions.
