Westwood community partners are hosting a BIPOC Mayoral Forum to provide the Westwood and Southwest Denver community with the opportunity to directly engage with some of the BIPOC candidates for Denver’s 2023 Mayoral Election. Community members will have a chance to ask candidates questions and discuss Westwood/SW Denver priorities.

WHEN: Friday, March 24th, 6pm-8pm
WHERE: 
Re:Vision's RISE Westwood campus at 3738 Morrison Rd, Denver, CO 80219

Re:Vision, a food security non-profit in Westwood, and Hecho en Westwood,  a collective of Latinx/BIPOC businesses in Westwood, are bringing together Westwood nonprofit partners to host an all-Spanish mayoral forum for the communities of SW Denver. The forum will focus specifically on providing residents of Westwood and SW Denver a space to directly meet and hear from our 2023 Mayoral candidates, engage candidates on issues specific to our communities, and engage our community in municipal elections. 

Denver's Westwood neighborhood is a 1.5-square-mile area where 78% of residents identify as Latinx and 30% of families live at or below the federal poverty line. A community of first-generation immigrants, 31% of adults identify as foreign born and 24% as non-English speakers. 
The Latinx community of Westwood possesses unique skills that should be included in discussions impacting our city, especially in the selection of our next mayor. For an election as important as this, neighborhood-specific opportunities to share our thoughts and concerns with candidates allow our communities to actively participate in Denver’s growth - says Mariana del Hierro, Executive Director of Re:Vision.
