A key part of the LWVLC Unite & Rise 8.5 campaign between now and the 2026 elections involves Signs of Solidarity (SOS): partnering with IndivisibleNOCO and ISAAC (Interfaith Solidarity & Accompaniment Coalition), building solidarity with local businesses to support our immigrant community. In December five two-member teams from our League went door to door in downtown Fort Collins sharing Know Your Rights information so businesses would be prepared if ICE arrives. They also provided window signs with the beautiful, locally designed butterfly symbols that visibly signal support and help immigrants feel welcome.
The teams reported an overwhelmingly positive reception! Look for these signs across downtown Fort Collins, then go in and say thank you and consider a purchase!

In January, the campaign plans to expand to downtowns of Loveland, Timnath, Wellington, and Windsor. Does anyone speak Spanish? ISAAC originally planned to canvas northern FC businesses with native speakers, but has now asked the wider group to cover the area. Spanish is not required but would be helpful for sure. Join us in expanding this movement! You will receive training and supplies and, if desired, placed with an experienced team member. If you are interested, but cannot attend this meeting, contact Beth DeHaven.
