Community Organizing
As our roots belong in community organizing, CORE uses a significant portion of our proceeds and time to give back to our communities. We work directly with our community to provide much-needed services and resources.

Past Events
Building Community Resilience: Mental Wellness Summit
With the rise in anti-Asian hate, the isolation from COVID-19, and the perpetual foreigner stereotype for the AANHPI (Asian American Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander) population, there is an increased need in cultivating and improving the mental wellness of our communities.
Building Community Resilience: AANHPI Mental Wellness Summit tackled the taboo of mental illness, increased education regarding mental wellness, and promoted resources for AANHPI community members and the wider public. The summit saw over 90 registrants with workshops ranging from dance to healing intergenerational trauma- participants left feeling refreshed and in-community with their fellow attendees.
Stop AAPI Hate Rally
After the 2021 Atlanta Spa Shooting, there was a nationwide movement to raise awareness and stop anti-Asian hate. CORE led the Stop AAPI Hate Rally in Colorado alongside several other AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islander) organizations in Colorado. The rally allowed our community to heal, connect, and look forward towards next steps. The event featured several performances of dance, spoken word, and song; as well as speeches by AAPI community members young & old, and Black, Indigenous, and Latine allies. The AAPI community is incredibly diverse with several cultures, customs, and experiences, but at this rally we bonded and connected through collective action.
Healing Circles
With the rise in Anti-Asian hate, there was a need for spaces for Asian American Pacific Islanders (AAPI) to grieve and connect with each other. As a result, we hosted four healing circles for the AAPI community. In total, there were 40 attendees who greatly benefitted from the healing circles where they could confide and recover with people in their own community.
