We Believe Colorado: Defeating Discrimination in Denver

We Believe Colorado, a diverse interfaith coalition of religious leaders working to change the values debate, is mobilizing the Denver faith community to defeat Denver Initiated Question 100--a ballot initiative that, if passed, would require police to impound the cars of unlicensed drivers "suspected of being an illegal alien." As We Believe Colorado and other immigrants’ rights advocates point out, the measure, which will be on the Denver primary ballot on August 12, all but mandates racial profiling and acts as a divisive force in the community.

At a July 28 press conference co-coordinated by FPL, Muslim, Christian and Jewish leaders from Latino, white and black backgrounds stood as one to say that the Denver faith community opposes discrimination and racial profiling, and that they're mobilizing their congregations to defeat Initiated Question 100. It's a great example of the faith community taking action in the public square for the common good.
