Anna speaks as both an organizer and advocate, sharing her dual mission: feeding unhoused people in downtown Denver and mobilizing resistance to the city’s urban camping ban. She explains her long-term involvement with Occupied Denver and Denver Homeless Out Loud, and how that work intersects with weekly volunteer meals. Anna emphasizes that their efforts go beyond charity—they’re about rights, visibility, and dignity.
She invites members of the unhoused community to an upcoming protest encampment at City Hall, where organizers will provide meals, yoga, security, and a safe place to rest. The protest challenges the 2012 urban camping ban, which criminalizes unhoused survival. Anna mentions a new federal lawsuit being filed in response to what they see as violations of previous settlements and constitutional rights.
