Spark the Change Colorado is initiating an ongoing "Movement of Good" campaign in response to the heartbreaking shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs, which targeted the LGBTQIA community—the latest in an unending string of mass shootings that continue to plague our communities. The impact of this event and others like it has left the LGBTQIA community feeling devalued, feeling unsupported, and feeling immense fear while simply living their every day lives. We have come together as an organization to say enough is enough. We believe the only way to combat anger, violence, and ignorance is with love, community, and understanding.
We believe every person has the ability to make an impact and invite every individual to join The Movement of Good. The Movement will engage volunteers in community projects that promote and celebrate diversity, equity, inclusion, and the vital belonging of every individual while sparking tangible, inspirational actions of good across Colorado. If enough of us can spread this message of love and belonging, we can drown out the hate.

at City Park in Denver on Monday, Jan. 16th
The Marade publicly kicked off our Movement of Good campaign with our first Kindness Scrolls project. Individuals and families visited Spark's table at the Marade to sign our scroll with messages of kindness, love, and hope, then shared photos on social media with the hashtag #MovementofGood to show that, together, we stand with and support the LGBTQIA Community. Scrolls will be prominently displayed at partner organization locations across the state and available for virtual viewing soon. If enough of us can spread this message of love and belonging, we can drown out the hate!

Spark Board & Staff Party: January 2023
Our staff and board decided that the Spark would start with us! We held a board and staff gathering on Tue. Jan. 10th where we piloted two of our #MovementofGood projects, our Kindness Scrolls and Spark Bracelets. It was truly inspiring to have a space to connect and, while participating in fun, creative, artistic activities, we felt more open and comfortable digging into uncomfortable topics. It was a great start to the impact we hope to make in our communities with the #MovementofGood. We look forward to more opportunities to create spaces of support, love, and kindness that show we are all in this together and a part of something great!
