🌻 Noches de Hecho – Part 6: Raíces del Corazón

This month, Noches de Hecho celebrates the launch of Raíces del Corazón, Westwood’s newest worker cooperative.

For years, the promotoras behind Raíces del Corazón have been caretakers and the heart of our community. After losing their jobs last year, they chose to build something new together.

Join us for an evening of community as we celebrate their launch, learn to make huaraches, create recycled mini planters, and support the next chapter of their journey.

Wednesday, July 15th | 6–8 PM
Cultura Chocolate-3742 Morrison Rd, Denver, CO 80219

All proceeds from the evening will go directly to Raíces del Corazón.

Come be in comunidad with us as we celebrate a new chapter rooted in community, collaboration, and collective ownership.

Noches de Hecho - Part 3:
El Grito de Westwood – Reclaiming Nuestra Voz

Join us for a night of healing, truth-telling, and comunidad.

We’ll be coming together to begin covering the Cesar Chavez mural at Kahlo’s, making space for our community to reflect, respond, and reimagine what comes next.

Through an open mic, we’re holding space for voices that are too often silenced by injustice, abuse of power, fear, and politics.

Bring your heart, a poem, a reflection—or come simply to listen and be in comunidad.

Wednesday, April 15th | 6–8PM
Kahlo’s Restaurant – 3735 Morrison Rd, Denver, CO 80219

Light refreshments from Kahlo’s Restaurant and Cultura Chocolate.

Thank you everyone who joined us at last month’s Noches de Hecho event! Together we created over 200 KYR/Whistle Kits and helped raise money for our community partner . Thank you also to the amazing photographers who helped capture the event and the community so beautifully. Their photos have now been uploaded onto our Noches de Hecho webpage (link in bio).

Join us next week for our next Noches de Hecho on March 18th, where we are kicking off the countdown to our 6th Annual at just 45 days away. This month’s celebration is all about connecting with our neighbors and sharing information about Cinco. Every half hour, small groups will head out door-to-door to pass out the KYR/Whistle kits we created last month as well as information about the Cinco de Mayo en Westwood community celebration to our neighbors.

While the canvassing is taking place, back at there will be music, food, and information stations where people can learn how to get more involved with Cinco de Mayo as vendors, artists, or volunteers. We’ll also be working on a community art piece that will be displayed at Cinco, inviting people to share what Westwood means to them, and at 6:15pm will share a short danza with us.

Come be in comunidad with us, meet our neighbors, and learn how you can be a part of this year’s Cinco celebration.
