Spring Institute for Intercultural Learning

This is unacceptable. Let Gov. Polis know you don’t agree with this betrayal of our intercultural community.

Cheers to our wonderful friends at .co!

Spring Institute is grateful to partner with WeeCycle to distribute baby gear to families in our service population. Today many staff had the added pleasure of visiting their warehouse!

We took a tour of the impressive facility & learned more about WeeCycle's two-fold mission: providing essential baby gear to families in need and keeping items out of the landfill. Then we pitched in to sort clothing, create "baby wardrobe bags", and repackage diapers.

Thanks for having us, WeeCycle, and for all you do to support families in our intercultural community!

Sending wishes for peace, happiness, & prosperity to our Muslim friends celebrating Eid al-Adha ✨

Allowing ICE to operate without any oversight or accountability threatens everyone in our intercultural community. Urge Colorado's federal representatives to hold them accountable by rejecting any increase in !

ICE is creating chaos and unleashing violence in our cities and communities that Colordans do NOT stand for. Our members of Congress must vote to keep our communities safe by rejecting ICE and CBP funding and passing legislative guardrails!
