Support immigrant drivers: Driver-owned ride-hailing cooperative in Denver, Colorado.
Drivers make more on each trip, the majority of profits go back to drivers, and drivers have democratic control over the decisions that affect their lives. Our mission is to end exploitative conditions in the for-hire vehicle industry through system change– putting workers in the driver’s seat of the platform economy.

International mutual aid community in Lakewood, CO.
An intentional community of people who commit to supporting each other in daily life and in reaching their potential. Everyone who is a part of Angelica Village joins with the intention of supporting our vision of creating community living spaces that support each person’s humanity and health. In our community, most members live in separate homes, with the exception of two independent living homes. The premise of Angelica Village is that long-term, intentional community and intensive support programs are key determinants of overall well-being and health. We build community to fulfill our needs and mutually support one another. Angelica Village supports six dimensions of health (personal, financial, vocational/ educational – enrichment, physical, mental /relational, physical health, and spiritual). -
This Handbook is designed to help congregations understand what it means to accompany a person or family in this way. It will help guide your community’s discernment as you consider whether you feel called to become a sponsoring congregation. If you choose to move forward, the Handbook contains practical guidelines and best practices to help you along the way, drawn from the growing community of congregations engaged in this form of solidarity. Throughout, you will find reflections, meditations, and practices that we hope will be a continual reminder that hospitality, solidarity, and resistance to injustice are all grounded in our faith. And while the materials reflect our Unitarian Universalist grounding, we hope they will be widely accessible to congregations of any faith tradition. Handbook authored by The Unitarian Universalist Service Committee’s (UUSC) Congregational Accompaniment Project for Asylum Seekers in collaboration with Freedom for Immigrants, Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ), Pueblo Sin Fronteras, Love Resists, a joint initiative of the Unitarian Universalist Association and UUSC, and Innovation Law Lab.
