Denver Human Rights & Community Partnerships

🗺️Denver is proud to officially welcome Dnipro, Ukraine as a Friendship City! Yesterday, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston and Mayor Borys Filatov signed a historic Friendship City Agreement, marking an important step toward strengthening international connections through cultural exchange, civic engagement, and community partnership.

This milestone reflects the incredible work and collaboration of Denver Sister Cities International, the Denver-Dnipro Friendship Committee, Ukrainians of Colorado, and community partners dedicated to building meaningful global relationships.

The agreement also lays the foundation for deeper future collaboration and the potential development of a formal Sister City relationship in the years ahead.

Together, Denver and Dnipro are building bridges rooted in resilience, friendship, and shared values. 🤝

Thank you to Mayor Mike Johnston, Denver Police Department Chief Ron Thomas, Denver Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Alex Marrero, Denver Health Medical Director Dr. Ro Pereira, our moderator, Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance CEO Cristal Torres DeHerera, and all the community partners who are now sharing information, answering questions, and helping strengthen connections across our city.
