Working with Maria has been a wonderful experience. Maria’s a true professional, pragmatic thinker, and compassionate leader. She’s well connected with community resources and has positively impacted the lives of many of our community’s most vulnerable neighbors. Most recently, I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing her ability to guide a complex community engagement process. Her leadership style is graceful, articulate, and inclusive. Her love for family and community is unwavering. When it comes to equity, she is steadfast in addressing systems of oppression.

      Denver Basic Income Project seeks to encourage a healthier and just society centered around human thriving. We work together to foster a welcoming community where collaborators feel a strong sense of belonging and trust. Our approach and decision-making centers the input from those with lived experience, those on the frontlines, and those currently experiencing homelessness. Together, we try, we learn and we continue– bringing creativity and boldness; individually and collectively. We care about people and their self-determination and dignity, so we care about each other and being responsible and accountable to one another to carry out the vision of this work. We are the Denver Basic Income Project.
