Jumoke Emery-Brown ran home this afternoon after his wife, Amy, found a pile of burned election flyers on their front porch and called him in a panic, he told Denverite. The two are parents and activists, and Jumoke Emery-Brown has been a leading voice on Amendment A, the measure to remove slavery from the Colorado constitution.
“Slavery is not a Colorado value,” the charred flyers stated.
They were still smoldering when Amy Emery-Brown found them, he said.
The materials were distributed by Together Colorado, a faith-based advocacy group whose website says it “values, uplifts and protects the humanity and human dignity of every person.”
Amy Emery-Brown has also been an outspoken activist in the city, leading a Black Lives Matter 5280 takeover of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day Marade in 2016 and an overnight vigil in Civic Center Park following the deaths of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling later that year.
