A request from the Colorado Lawyers Committee
I am writing to ask for your help in identifying schools (7th grade and up) or community groups that might be interested in our free Hate Crimes Education presentation, either in person or virtually.
Since 1993, Colorado Lawyers Committee volunteers have presented trials to middle and high school students and community groups based on a fictional case arising from a violation of Colorado’s Hate/Bias-Motivated Crimes Statute. In this free program, students/community members act as jurors, listen to the trial and deliberate on the four counts on which the defendant is charged. After closing arguments, the audience members break into smaller jury groups to reach their verdicts with the help of a volunteer facilitator. Students then reconvene to discuss diversity in their community, and the value of preventing the spread of racial slurs and hateful actions.
Any Colorado school, college, university, or community organization (with students who are in Grade 7 and up) may sign up for a presentation. Because of the sensitive material, including realistic racial slurs that help illustrate what might be considered a hate crime, it is not recommended for students below seventh grade.
This program is now available in person or online. We currently use Zoom and Microsoft Teams to present the virtual program but can adapt it to almost any interactive platform.
If you know any schools/groups in Colorado (they do not have to be in the Denver Metro area) that would be interested in this type of presentation, please contact me or invite them to visit our website.
P.S. If you are interested in volunteering for the program, check out our website.
