Latino Coloradans, allies invited to share stories at virtual forum

The University of Colorado is a sponsor of the Seventh Annual Our Story Forum, a civic engagement event presented by the Latino Community Foundation of Colorado (LCFC).

The LCFC is a state-based, philanthropic foundation that pursues civic, economic and cultural opportunities for Latinos.

The theme of the virtual event, which begins at 10 a.m. Saturday, is “Rebuilding Our Future Together.” A preview event is at 4 p.m. today.

Registration for the event is free, and members of the CU community are encouraged to take part.

This is CU’s first year sponsoring the event, building on a partnership between the university and the LCFC.

During the forum, speakers and participants will share their personal stories and insights as ways of inspiring bold, meaningful change. Organizers say the event will be a space of learning and connectedness, providing tools for bringing about change, regardless of the language you speak, the city you live in or the country you come from.
