Inter-Neighborhood Cooperation will partner again with the League of Women Voters of Denver to organize election forums to be presented by our partnership known as Denver Decides through Denver 8TV for the very important November 8 2016 elections. Due to budget reasons, all of the forums will be conducted at the Denver8TV studio downtown and not at community locations as in the past. The dates are not finalized yet, but they will be confirmed and publicized in the near future.
We need all INC members and all registered neighborhood organizations to help in this effort

Local elections don’t always get much attention – especially a year out. But the race for the Denver district attorney is different.
The office has been spotlighted – by reporters and by a judge – for its failure to prosecute law enforcement officers for excessive force. As police brutality, racial profiling, the death penalty and wrongful convictions hit headlines, the public’s concern about who’s running for district attorney has grown.
