Other Amazing Events Statewide:
Press Conference and Protest: Save Mario
Friday, June 5th at 10:45am - 11:45am
Downtown Detention Center - City & County Of Denver
In front of Van Cise-Simonet Detention Center, 490 W. Colfax Avenue
My brother Mario has been in Denver County Jail for the last two years. In February something happened to him at the jail, we're still not sure what, and since then his health has been going downhill fast. His speech is mumbled and garbled and he's lost 100 pounds. He can no longer walk on his own and has developed bed sores.
A judge ordered him evaluated and moved to a medical facility, but that hasn't happened. Tomorrow is the deadline the court ordered him to be evaluated by and there's no date set. Judge Egelhoff has been delaying ordering Mario moved despite the fact that all other parties agree the jail can't care for him. In order for the Judge to order him moved, Mario needs an evaluation that the jail has not provided.
We have been patient for close to two months now, waiting for the system to get Mario to a place where his needs will be met. The jail medical staff agree Mario needs to be moved, but his time is running out. We can't be patient anymore.

FLOR y CANTO (FLOWER and SONG) is the name of the fundraiser to be held Friday, June 5, 5:30 p.m.to 9:00 p.m., at the Regis University campus located at West 52nd Avenue and Lowell Boulevard in Denver. Presented by the nonprofit Escuela Tlatelolco, the event will feature dinner and an awards ceremony to honor “Champions of Change” recipients for their commitment to equality, freedom, justice and peace. All proceeds will go to Escuela Tlatelolco, the Chicano alternative school founded in the late 1960s by the Chicano civil rights group called Crusade for Justice. Tickets are $75.00 per person. For tickets, send an email to et@EsculelaTlatelolco.org
Escuela is the Spanish word for “school” and Tlatelolco was the name of the city that was the center of education and fine arts during the Aztec Empire and later became the site used for education by the Spanish colonialists. The name Tlatelolco honors the indigenous ancestors of Chicanos who were committed to education and who lost their lives serving their people. Denver’s above-mentioned alternative school, Escuela Tlatelolco, also adopted the name to honor the students who were massacred by the Mexican Government for protesting the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City.
Escuela Tlatelolco is an independent, nonprofit, dual language school that serves predominantly low-income students pre-kindergarten through grade 12 high school. For 43 years, the school has maintained a 90% high-school graduation rate. In 2012, their 90% graduation rate compared to Latino students having only a 55% graduation rate in Denver Public Schools. Since 1970, 73% of Escuela Tlatelolco high-school graduates went on to complete undergraduate college degrees, 22% completed graduate-school degrees and 28% own businesses.

DJPC's Springtime Build-for-Peace
Rescheduled for Saturday, June 13, 2015, 9:00 AM - 1 PM
Our Build-for-Peace was originally scheduled with Family Homestead for May 2nd, but had to be cancelled. So now it is rescheduled with EarthLinks for Saturday, June 13th.
That means you have another chance! You can still join the team of "Builders", provided you get your sponsors in advance. Or you can still sponsor one of the "Builders", who are: Bob Carlsten, Lynn Farquhar, Richard Kruch, Terry Ruby, Francine Schwarzenberger, Jerry Stookey, Joy Warner, Elliot Williams, Shirley Whiteside, Joshua Zielinski
To sponsor one of these Builders, CLICK HERE and fill out the on-line donation form.
Be sure to write in the name of the "Builder"” you want to sponsor.
Or send a check made to DJPC Education Fund with the name of the "Builder"” you are sponsoring in the Memo line and mail to: DJPC, P.O. Box 12403, Denver, CO 80212.
And THANK YOU for your support!
Our goal is to raise $5000 (but imagine if each "builder" solicited $1000 in donations, so we could double that!) Build-for-Peace is a fundraiser that keeps DJPC alive and well in order to do the real work we want to do: building a more just and peaceful global society!
"We always have lots of fun, too!" "You don't get what you don't ask for. Ask!" John Proctor
THREE - WAY WIN!
1. "Builders" solicit sponsors whose donations support DJPC.
2. EarthLinks gets DJPC volunteer "builders" for free.
3. Homeless and low-income folks get our support to end their isolation.
Everybody wins!
