About SUN
Stapleton United Neighbors (SUN) is the registered neighborhood organization for the Stapleton area. Our mission is threefold: to provide a forum for our residents; to maintain a communication network between ourselves, our neighboring Denver residents, and the city of Denver; and to act on issues of importance to the community as a whole.
SUN is comprised solely of volunteer neighbors and serves as the registered neighborhood organization for Stapleton, discussing key issues with neighbors, representing their interests, engaging in proactive problem-solving, and organizing neighborhood-building activities.

An open letter to the community
Dear Neighbors,
We are deeply disturbed by the escalation of hateful
sentiment and shocked and horrified by the events one week ago in
Charlottesville Virginia. We unify in condemning all forms of hateful acts,
violence, racism, anti-Semitism, bigotry and xenophobia, and efforts by
alt-right and white supremacy groups, the Ku Klux Klan, and any other group
espousing hatred and violence. As we collectively send condolences to the
family and friends of Heather Heyer, the woman who was killed, and share our
prayers and thoughts for those injured in Charlottesville, we together say
clearly, that there is no place for these displays of hatred in our
neighborhood nor anywhere.
Stapleton is a strong, diverse, and vibrant community,
and we share the hopeful wish that we all can come together to support each
other and engage in a productive dialogue.
Sincerely,
Amanda A. Allshouse
