On Saturday April 6, the Colorado Poor People’s Campaign hit the road for a Denver metro area Emergency Truth & Poverty Bus Tour, highlighting a variety of social, racial and environmental justice issues. KGNU’s Rae Solomon went along to speak with the people involved and find out the issues they’re most concerned about.
The tour began at Pioneer Elementary School in Lafayette where members of East Boulder County United joined in to speak about fracking and its impact on the community.
They then headed to Aurora to gather at the ICE Processing Center in Aurora where they were joined by immigrant rights advocates.
