Proud to have the help of Cactus, CPB, Fact & Fiction, Fortnight Collective, Karsh Hagan, LRXD, Madwell, Motive, TDA, and Vladimir Jones.
We’ve already had 8 applications in two weeks and with the help of these 10 agencies we’re taking a big step towards getting more Black talent hired at Colorado agencies.
We’ve got more initiatives to come, but this was a big one for us. What is your agency doing to help? Share below!

Violence begets violence, and the populace voting for restoring law and order at the expense of liberty. If you want to live in a police state, under martial law, instead of working through the system, protesting, winning hearts and minds, and voting with your pocketbook, please do it somewhere else. Consider that this is all part of the plan by those in office. Divide and conquer is a strategy,and it's part of theirs. Don't allow yourself to be a pawn by playing into the narrative that the opposition are hooligans.
To paraphrase a world reknown document:
"The history of the president is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States."
Can't really blame CA secessionists. In 13 days, we've seen division grow. Families separated. Allies contemplate their continued alliance to us.
There is no careful consideration of an approach. A brash series of strokes of a pen with no thought of the impact or repercussions.
Sad.
SC1 - thank you, everyone else - you can be nominally opposed to the violence that has made you comfortable and privileged, but it rings hollow when you don't admit to the violence that we have promoted and continue to promote internally and externally as a government
Your moral high ground is built on the bodies your government has systematically oppressed with violence, where were you in opposing the violence that has built US colonies and overthrown democratic governments? Hypocrites
THANK YOU @D2 that's my point. Lol.
The republicans won through violent threats (which are now coming to fruition) against the environment, women's rights, minority voting rights, immigrants, Mexicans, Muslims,... the list goes on and on - why the double standard? Bunch of hypocrites
My identity will never go quietly
No matter how much you protest for me to stop protesting
Compliance is complicity
Meh, I don't believe in inciting violence, yet I do think it's funny that people are being called intolerant for being aggressively against white supremacist ideology. Right or wrong, Historically in this country violence *has* been the answer. We say violence isn't now because we crave order, but not justice. I'm also curious how this will play in the media too. Gotta get my popcorn....
@A1 uh.. lol. This country was built on and is sustained by violence. The Civil Rights movement's goals were largely curtailed due to MLK Jr. Being *MURDERED* before kicking off his poor people's campaign 👀. Every civil rights leader of that time was either murdered or chased out of the country. The things that they wanted in this country were deemed so radical that the FBI and local governments actively worked against them.
Instead of telling me to research, how about reading a bit yourself?
@E1 huh? lol I'm an independent. I voted HRC this past election (not my fave choice but best of the lot). Y'all are weird 😂
Also "every civil rights leader of that time was either murdered or chased out of the country" hahahaha wow you truly have no idea what the hell you're talking about do you? Child, you need to get to reading...
@E1 1) I read the article 2) when did I promote violence? I said the *opposite* bud. 3) racism/bias is a bi-partisan issue. People are looking for reasons to not support "the left" lol.
@E1 MLK, Malcom X, Huey P Newton... to name the obvious.. have you seen 13th? Or used Google? Telling me I need to read doesn't actually prove my historically factual statements wrong 👀
I said the country was built on violence (slavery, genocide, WW1 and 2, Jim Crow). That's a factual statement 😐. Google "riots in the US" and see the various policies created as a result. It's possible to disagree with violence and acknowledge it's role in building the US.
Do yourself a favor and read for comprehension, not buzzwords. That way, you won't react and come across like a dumbass lol. If you're confused by something I said, ask a question. Don't dig your heels in. Sheesh.
A1 "the country has changed since slavery" that's not the point - the point is that violence is what built this country. "Wartime measures" is STILL VIOLENCE and if you saw 13th you'd see it hasn't changed that much. You'd also understand that most civil rights leaders were killed or chased out the country lol.
@E1 you're quoting me back to me, yet can't understand what I'm saying. Ok lol. Historically violence has been the vehicle of growth and change in this country. That's a *fact*. So saying "violence isn't the answer" is shallow AF. That's all. I can mortally disagree with violence and not take such a historically false stance.
Then you got Huey P. Newton who was actively empowering black communities with tools, protection and resources against racist police and local / federal government policies. He was murdered in his bed. This combined with Nixon's "war on drugs" actively dismantled the black panthers and now all we say of that group is that they're the black KKK. So violence "worked" then too.
People saying "come up with a better opinion" ITS NOT AN OPINION.
Exactly @D2!
Violence has won in America. See slavery. See Native Americans. See Jim Crow. See Iraq. See Trump. MLK Jr. preached nonviolent protest and was MURDERED. Looking at the symptoms and not addressing the systems has you end up looking like a myopic hypocrite. FOH
Read the damn article. Better yet, click through and read the study that was done. It's not a double standard, it's the truth.
