On the morning of August 6, 2024 in Denver, CO, around 15 protesters entered The Center on Colfax, which refers to itself as an LGBTQ community center, to conduct a sit-in calling, in part, for The Center's board to meet with them to discuss the funding The Center receives from weapons/tech manufacturers which have ties to Israel. Rex Fuller, the CEO of The Center on Colfax, called the police on the protesters about seven hours into the sit-in. Dozens of police arrived, including the Denver Metro SWAT team dressed in militarized uniforms. When Lt. David Albi finally gave a five-minute warning, protesters left out the front entrance to avoid arrest. The three organizations who conducted the sit-in - Disability Liberation For All, Gay Liberation Front for Palestine, and Denver Students for a Democratic Society - all stated that they will continue putting pressure on The Center.
