So far in 2025, the Denver zip codes with the most eviction filings were those with large Black & Latine renter populations. If we want a city where everyone has opportunity to thrive, we have to confront how eviction reinforces inequality & fight to protect those most at risk.

Behind every eviction case is a person trying to stay in their home, often without the tools or support to fight back. Landlords almost always show up to court with lawyers, armed with resources, legal knowledge, & the advantage of being repeat players. Most tenants stand alone.
