The purpose of the Immigrant Protection Teams (IPTs) is to: 1) provide a clear message to the immigrant community that we are standing with you, you are not alone; 2) provide factual information about immigrants to counteract the many myths in the media; and 3) put pressure on elected officials to develop more humane approaches to immigration policy. After the November 2024 election, allies in Colorado, concerned about the likely targeting of the immigrant community, decided to organize to show up for our immigrant neighbors. The first teams formed immediately in Aurora, Arvada and Boulder. We now have 24 teams across the state from Fort Collins to Walsenburg to Grand Junction to the San Luis Valley, including in Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Douglas and Jefferson Counties (we also have teams in Aurora and Boulder County, but they may be applying for their own SN grant at some point, and Denver IPT has already submitted a SN application).
