When wildlife is in danger, they can't speak up for themselves—so we speak for them. Defenders of Wildlife deploys a wide range of tools and tactics, from policy analyses and advocacy, to litigation, innovative science and technology programs and field conservation. Every Defenders program aligns with or contributes to at least one of three broad imperatives:

Prevent species and their habitats from becoming imperiled.

Protect endangered and threatened species and their habitats.

Restore the health of vulnerable species and their habitats.

The Guild Philosophy...

The Black Actors Guild believes that every individual holds a unique story, and that telling that story can make a real difference. Whether it’s comedy, storytelling, improv or script-writing - we see it as our duty to use those mediums to create a better world. The Black Actors Guild hopes to empower every individual we meet to be the absolute best versions of themselves - whether they are a student, a fellow actor, or an audience member. We hope to enable everyone who takes part of our community to consider life in a new way, and to encourage them to strive to challenge the world around them. Any actors of color will know the daunting truth of “typecasting” - that the roles for the non-traditional looking actors are limited in scope. While we could spend our days trying to retool the old and forcing our way into scripts that weren’t meant to be played by us - we choose a totally different path. Why not make our own stories? Tales important to our modern myths, narratives that create the space we have been looking for all this time. We promise this: that our work will always be timely, diverse, valuable, and thought provoking - written and produced by local creatives of color. Let’s make our own spaces. Let’s do it with and for our own communities.

In 2016, our mission was to develop Boulder’s first innovator’s play space, called Science Galaxy. In 2017, we traveled across the US and Europe to get inspired by leaders in the museum, tech, innovation and creative industries. While exploring what was out there, we asked local families “What do YOU want when it comes to STEAM-experiences?”. We gathered a set of specific needs and laid the foundation for The Hopper.

Families want more kid-friendly places to gather and hang-out.

Families want to actively engage their kids through deeper and more meaningful experiences.

Families value activities that provide a low-stress and enjoyable experience for everyone in the family.

In 2018, we launched The Hopper brand, and set out to become the family gathering space of the future in Boulder, Colorado!

We, the creators of the 13th Floor Haunted House, have discovered locations, right here in Denver, Colorado constructed in the manor described above. Not completely sure of what all of their past uses may have been, it seems that the majority of these locations are currently inhabited as a home for the fortunate or unfortunate souls, living and dead, that have discovered their secret locations when seeking shelter from the environment, or society. Various species of rats, snakes, and spiders have also taken up residence here, living in secret, by their own rules.
