Human rights for all!

Photobucket


Boulder Pride's Board President David Ensign and Board Member Jackson Dreiling add their voices for Human Rights at the MLK rally in Boulder today.

I attended the Human Rights Celebration with my family and it was a wonderful experience! A few of the youth speakers did slam poetry and it was inspirational. We then walked as a group from the Courthouse to Boulder High where the fair was to occur. On the way, we passed by areas where hate crimes had occurred, with a youth standing to indicate the nature of the crime (anti-black hate crime happened here. anti-gay hate crime happened here. anti- hispanic hate crime happened here.) It was very moving. There were workshops, great food, and activities for teens and youngsters to participate in. There were also several tables from different groups in Boulder County working to end inequality and promote a better future for all.

It made me proud to be part of this community and part of this work!
