Visit a local business with information that explains how they can prepare for the possibility of an ICE raid to better protect their business and their employees. This is the Prevention work in Immigrant Support. Those who sign up will receive a 15 minute orientation and materials in order to visit one business. There will be an orientation Sunday October 12th and at other times depending on the needs of those who sign up. More specifics about time and place will be sent out when you sign up. You will choose a business during the Orientation.

Luke Campbell, Homeless Response Coordinator for Jefferson County and Kory Kolar, Homeless Navigator will offer an update on the unhoused population in Jefferson County, along with the planned response for severe weather sheltering this winter and volunteer opportunities.

Join JUC’s Immigrant Support Team when they attend the October 13th Vigil at ICE’s GEO Detention Center in Aurora. Vigils are held weekly to support the Detainees and demand their release. Joining the Vigil is a very moving experience that will include speaking, chanting, singing, some communication from detainees or their families. Meet at JUC between 5pm and 5:15pm to carpool to Aurora (about 40 minutes). The Vigil begins at 6pm and can go as long as 8pm, although it could finish earlier.

Our new Queer Social Justice Group will be providing a time to talk about gender. We’ll introduce how pronouns can be used by gender diverse people and provide examples of the transgender experience. Questions are welcome. Celebrate gender diversity with us and gain some insight into becoming an ally to transgender people.

Welcome to the Queer Social Justice Group!

We are a group of queer people and queer allies here at JUC committed to raising awareness of issues that affect the queer community and fostering communication between queer people and our allies. We will be turning that awareness and education into action, including but not limited to, helping our unhoused find refuge and helping our queer youth find safety and community.
