October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Intimate partner violence affects millions of people in the United States and around the world each year. Data from the CDC’s National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) indicate that in the U.S., about 1 in 4 women and nearly 1 in 10 men have experienced contact sexual violence, physical violence and/or stalking by an intimate partner during their lifetime. Join us throughout the month as we share information and resources about this important issue. #JLD #DVAM2020 #DVAM #JLBetterTogether #ItMatters

On Saturday, September 19, we held our fourth annual JLD L.U.V.S. day of service! Our partners this year were Denver Children's Advocacy Center, The Family Tree, Florence Crittenton Colorado, Girls Incorporated of Metro Denver and The GrowHaus.
More than 260 participants donated 325 hours to this year's socially-distanced event. About 230 members drove through four sites, donating $7,200 in requested supplies to our partners. We also gave the five nonprofits $10,000 in grants.
Thank you to our 2020 L.U.V.S. Co-Chairs, Brenda Garcia and Angela Maramba, their committee members, all volunteers who worked shifts or dropped off donations, as well as our partners for their support to make our day of service successful, even amid a global pandemic.

Happy #MemberMonday! Meagan Burgio is currently serving as the Training Council VP. She has been a member of the League since 2014, starting her League journey in Boston before transferring to Denver in 2015. As the Director of Operations for a litigation consulting firm based in DC, Meagan spends her days ensuring business runs smoothly and employees are happy. This isn't a large departure from her other full-time job as a wife and mother of two adorable, albeit precocious kiddos (and their accompanying dog, cat, and fish).
Meagan is a proud alum of the University of Tennessee, and she enjoys retreating back to the smaller mountains of East Tennessee every chance she gets. FUN FACT: when Meagan had unscheduled time, she loved climbing and water skiing and competed competitively in both. She looks forward to once again enjoying these sports (and that unscheduled time) when her kids are a bit older. Meagan, thank you so much for ALL you do for JLD! We appreciate you.

“The good news is that racist and antiracist are not fixed identities. We can be a racist one minute and an antiracist the next. What we say about race, what we do about race, in each moment, determines what -- not who -- we are.”
― Ibram X. Kendi, How to Be an Antiracist
Thank you, ladies, for an engaging, enlightening, and educational discussion. @juniorleaguedenver Board Book Club

Our #WomanCrushWednesday this week goes out to Kamala Harris! As a nonpartisan women’s civic leadership organization founded in 1901, Junior League has always been actively engaged in expanding women’s roles as leaders in communities worldwide. On Wednesday, January 20, we witnessed a historic moment as Kamala Harris was sworn in as the FIRST woman Vice President of the United States. She is the first, but she will not be the last.
