Across generations, a tradition of activism

A conversation between Denise Gomez and Polly Baca

Colorado’s Latina community has a long tradition of political leadership. To celebrate the first day of Hispanic Heritage Month, we asked an up-and-coming changemaker to interview a long-time trailblazer about her journey.

Denise Gomez is a Denver native who works with grassroots organizers and nonprofits to remove barriers to civic engagement. She spoke with Polly Baca, the first Latina state senator in Colorado and a national delegate for Hillary, about community, history, and the upcoming election.
