Relatives were in charge of her, but after her uncle sexually abused her, they fled to Mexico… leaving her behind.  Years went by, and she found refuge and help within the Human Services Department in Denver, who placed her with a foster family where she had a home until she was 21-years-old.

However, life had reserved another difficult episode for her.  Her partner, with whom she had a relationship for a few years, raped one of the daughters of this woman who we will]]></description>

It is the story of a promise that was not fulfilled when it was expected.  The child in the story –Becerra- was hoping for his father to get him a bicycle, as he had promised.

Until one day they all got together, talked about and took on the challenge to help the immigrant community, specifically the most vulnerable –the undocumented- to obtain their Colorado Driver’s Licenses.
Up until now they don’t know for sure if they will be able to gather the 86,105 signatures needed.  They have a deadline of August 6th, at 3 pm.  The idea is to gather 140,000 signatures to be safe in case the Secretary of State]]></description>

This man, originally from Rancho Viejo, Michoac&#225;n also shared with us an event he defines as “being born again,” when he had open heart surgery on 2011.
Roberto was interviewed by El Comercio de Colorado and he said he came to Denver when he was 19 years old, in 1969.  He came on his own, and like every immigrant, he says “I came alone and wanting to get ahead in life.”

Their goal is to intensively interrogate those detained for any crime in order to expedite their deportation.  That is why organizations such as Rights for All People (RAP), Metro Organizations for People (MOP), and Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition (CIRC), organized a protest which began at the municipal offices in Aurora and then ended after a walk to the Detention]]></description>

Suggested changes to the definitions of autism spectrum disorders and depression, among others, are eliciting great concerns.  However, there are larger concerns about the DSM as a whole.
“Almost no one likes the DSM, but no one knows what to do about it,” says University of Michigan psychiatrist Randolph Nesse.  The current round of revisions is the fifth since the DSM was originally published by the American]]></description>

If in a period of 7 days, after February 15th, when an audience took place before representatives of the Secretary of State, the Legislative Office and the Colorado Attorney General, no one opposes this initiative, then the next step will be to gather 85,105 signatures of registered voters.
