Luis Alvarado worked, walked and bused his way through two continents for a better life. After arriving in Denver a year ago, he’s finally permitted to work.

A new law just started requiring Colorado public schools to refer to students by their chosen names.

He wears wolf fur, bolo ties and challenged Denver’s mayor to a Rocky Mountain oyster eating contest. He is Perry Will, and we’re not worthy.

During a May 2 meeting, residents told Mayor Mike Johnston they were tired of seeing drugs, violence and nudity in public.

Auraria students protesting the Iraq War spurred a camping ban on campus years before the City of Denver created one.

Short answer: probably not.

The person managing the encampment plans to set up another hidden site after they’re swept on Monday.

The sponsor promised to bring back a similar bill aimed at protecting youth on social media next year.

Over forty students have been arrested so far, but protesters say they won’t leave until their schools end support of Israel.

“It must be more costly for them to provide hunting grounds for predators than it is to protect their users.”

“I am these words and I was these words,” says Ron Weinberg. “I’m never going to be suppressed.” The bill is back for debate today.

“When protesters did not comply after numerous written and verbal requests, law enforcement stepped in at approximately 12:30 p.m. on Friday.”

While the city released its “playbook,” the council advanced two bills that will help meet the $90 million migrant budget.

Over 100 members of the AI industry are rallying against the bill, but some say it’s necessary to build trust.

The encampment appeared a few weeks ago, and the city wanted to sweep it while it was “still a manageable size.”

West African migrants aren’t used to eating leafy greens, mushrooms and other common American vegetables, so volunteers taught them how.

“We’ve made it a little bit easier to be trans in Colorado.”

“If they could just get it at their local doctor’s office, it would make a lot more sense.”

“It seems like an ordinary trial, but it is an extraordinary trial underneath if we really look at some of the details.”

On the same day, an abortion rights initiative submitted nearly double the signatures needed for the November election.

Mayor Mike Johnston said he planned to offer housing when the encampment was at forty people, but it grew too fast.
