Dennis Apuan R.I.P.
I put together some clips of speeches Dennis made here in Colorado Springs in the last 20 years that we worked together.
At the end I put together a memorial with me playing and old Pete Seeger song that I know he liked.
Dennis died May 23 in Florida, from complications of diabetes.
He was born in Manila, making him the only Filipino-American to serve in the Colorado General Assembly, from 2009 to 2011 for HD17.
Dennis was a hard working community activist and regional director of the Colorado Progressive Coalition, community organizer for Colorado Unity, vice-chair of the El Paso County Democratic Party for four years, founded KCMJ-FM, a community radio station in Colorado Springs and most recently founded the Colorado Springs Council for Justice.
Apuan was also a leader in the Filipino-American community, both in Colorado and nationally.
Dennis is survived by a sister, Joy Santiago, who noted on the Council for Justice’s Facebook page that the family is out of work and needs assistance with burial expenses.
