Statement of Colorado Hispanic Bar Association on Club Q Shooting

 

November 21, 2022 - Denver, Colorado 


The Colorado Hispanic Bar Association (CHBA) is deeply saddened by the recent shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs. CHBA stands with our LGBTQ+ members,the Colorado LGBTQ Bar Association,the El Paso County Bar Association, and other Bar associations and groups in condemning the attack. There is no place for such senseless violence and hate. 


CHBA supports the belief that an attack against one of us is an attack against all of us. CHBA and its members will support the LGBTQ+ community – which includes many members of the Hispanic community – as they process this tragedy and until justice is served for all those affected.


A Community Resource Event will be held at UCCS Kevin W. O’Neill Cybersecurity & Research Center (3650 N Nevada Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80907) to provide mental health resources, spiritual support, emotional support animals, childcare, emergency financial resources, LGBTQ+ support, meals, and other services.


Security for all attendees will be provided by uniformed Colorado Springs police officers. The event is designed to be an inclusive and safe space for all community members to gather, grieve, and obtain emotional support. This event is not open to the media for interviews or camera footage.
