Target: Aurora City Council, Aurora Mayor, and Local Government Officials
Goal: We call on Aurora city officials and local stakeholders to support and protect independent journalism, ensure government transparency, and hold public institutions accountable to the people they serve.
The Sentinel Colorado has been recognized with multiple top awards by the Colorado Press Association for its fearless reporting on issues impacting Aurora, including the targeting of immigrants by political leaders, police practices, and misinformation from elected officials. These honors underscore the critical importance of a free press in holding power to account and ensuring that the voices of marginalized communities are heard.
In the face of mass deportation campaigns, police misconduct, and disinformation, it is more important than ever to defend the rights of journalists to report the truth and demand transparency from those in power. We urge city leaders to protect journalists, guarantee public access to information, and take meaningful steps to address the issues exposed by investigative reporting.
