Elijah McClain Protest Leaders Headed to Court March 1


On February 22, Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman and the Aurora City Council opened their weekly meeting the way most start: standing for the Pledge of Allegiance, approving the minutes from the previous week’s meeting, then sharing any announcements. Unable to find the proclamation honoring Black History Month, Coffman asked the clerk if she would enter it into the record.
A disembodied voice began reading words paying tribute to “those individuals that stood against prejudice and injustice that would inspire movements, legislation, and advancements set to ensure the rights we share today.
Watching virtually, Lillian House, Joel Northam and Eliza Lucero, leaders of the Denver chapter of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, along with other PSL members, waited for the public comment period; more than sixty people including House, Northam and Lucero had signed up to discuss the just-released, council-commissioned independent investigation into the death of Elijah McClain after his encounter with Aurora police officers on August 24, 2019. The 157-page report was scathing, highly critical of Aurora Police Department and Fire Rescue actions, policies and procedures.
