Good Trouble - https://near.tl/sm/ik-ZushRa

his Saturday, December 20

Indivisible Groups, Colorado Partnership Teams, Aurora Unidos CSO and many other community organizations and individuals are protesting on Dec 20 against Key Lime Air's contract with ICE to transport detainees and with their contract with the University of Colorado to transport their athletic teams. Denver Air Connection is a subsidiary of Key Lime Air and we are protesting at numerous airports which serve Denver Air Connection. Y'all covered our efforts with Denver's City Council members voting down an expansion of Key Lime at Denver International Airport.
