I don’t live in Aurora, Colorado, but I do have a list of Aurora’s largest private employers, courtesy of the Aurora Economic Development Council. They were even kind enough to supply web addresses.

I’m sending letters and emails to Aurora’s biggest employers asking what they are doing to demand accountability from the Aurora Police Department for the death of Elijah McClain. I’m asking them to explain as members of the community what they expect from their police department. Are they speaking out? Or are they quietly complicit while their police, dressed in riot gear, abuse their power to disrupt peaceful and legitimate protest of the original abuse of power. I want to know if they really believe black lives matter—that Elijah’s stolen life matters—or if they merely mimic advocacy for the sake of their corporate image. And I want them to know that they are being watched for signs of duty and responsibility for the community where they profit and do business. 

I’ll let you know if I get any responses.
