🖤✨ State of Black Aurora 2025
A Moral Mandate for Aurora’s Future
Aurora has made history — and now, we have a responsibility.
For the first time, five Black city councilmembers and a 6–4 majority reflect the true face of our community. But this moment is bigger than politics. It’s a moral mandate to build equity, trust, and opportunity for every family who calls Aurora home.
📊 By the Numbers:
Aurora is now 78% people of color, with 16% Black residents.
House District 42 — Aurora’s “heart” — is 68% people of color, one of the most diverse in Colorado.
Yet disparities remain in business ownership, homeownership, and neighborhood investment.
That’s why the State of Black Aurora 2025 calls for unity around five pillars:
💼 Economic Empowerment
🏘 Housing & Homeownership
⚖️ Public Safety & Trust
🔧 Workforce & Small Business Development
👩🏾🤝👨🏽 Youth & Family Engagement
This is how we turn representation into restoration — and progress into shared prosperity.
We’re building an Aurora where diversity isn’t just seen — it’s served, strengthened, and sustained.
One Aurora. One Mandate. One Future.
