Padres Unidos/Jovenes Unidos has been organizing in the Denver, Colorado area for more than 20 years. Padres is a multi-issue organization led by people of color who work for equality and justice in the areas of education, racial justice for youth, immigrant rights and the right to quality healthcare for all. Jovenes Unidos, the youth initiative of Padres Unidos, emerged out of the fight for educational justice for all children. Both Padres and Jovenes Unidos challenge the root causes of discrimination, racism and inequity by exposing the economic, social and institutional basis for injustice, as well as developing effective strategies and tactics to change it. Padres’ CCHE initiative will focus on Denver Public Schools policies to increase access to healthy foods and physical activity for low-income youth of color.
