Social Justice

Speak Now Rally – Remove the Regime – April 26th, 1PM – 3PM

Rally location: S. Parker Rd and Crown Crest Blvd, Parker CO 80134 Suggested parking location: 12626 N Pine Ln St, Parker CO or a nearby business lot, such as restaurants across the street.
We’ve known for a long time what the core problem is. We need to Remove the Regime. Repetition works best… If we get a few volunteers to help with a future rally or 2, we will continue weekly. Be part of the good side of history, by maintaining a persistent, visible presence that is impossible to ignore. 
Our First Amendment right to free speech and to reasonable voting access has been under attack since this authoritarian regime was allowed to take over our government. It’s like a snowball rolling downhill, gathering speed and more snow. The longer we wait to divert its path, the more difficult it will be to stop the horrific outcome. Do it for your children. Do it for your spouse. Do it for your friends that are unaware of what is happening. Do it for your country.
We have loaner rally signs available. If you only have a few minutes, please stop by for the time that you can spare. Every effort counts.
All details are here!

A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

Bridge House Ready to Work

Volunteers Needed

Since the first of the year, Jenny S. has revived Prairie’s connection to volunteering at Bridge House Ready to Work. Once a month, she takes 5 dozen cupcakes to the birthday party for residents who are celebrating that month. Sometimes Shirley, Jenny R. and granddaughter, Molly, have helped but more volunteers are needed, especially since Molly returns to college this week.
The cupcakes need to be delivered to Bridge House on the third Thursday of each month before the afternoon party.
Please contact Jenny S. to volunteer dozen or more cupcakes. Thank you!

A generous offer from Joanna Shukert, of our Prairie Community…
If any of you are considering buying or selling a home, or know someone who is, I’m offering to donate half my net commission from any transaction originating from a Prairie member. The funds will be donated directly to Prairie in your name. As you know, home prices have doubled in recent years (along with real estate commissions), so I’m happy to make this offer on an ongoing basis. I’ve worked as a Denver realtor for 15 years and have been in the top 5-10% of HomeSmart agents over the past 3 years. I’d be honored to assist with any buy or sell transaction in the metro area. I also offer free advice or guidance on anything real estate related, so please reach out anytime if I can help.
Please email Joanna to learn more!
