Call-in to DA Padden and Demand Justice for Kory Dillard and all victims of the Aurora Police Department's racist police violence!

Amy Padden
The New 18th Judicial District Attorney

Call 18th Judicial District Attorney Amy Padden at:

(720) 874-8500

The previous District Attorney, John Kellner refused to stand with the community and investigate the clear cases of police violence and murder. He had a troubling history of protecting violent police and prosecuting the victims of police violence as well.

We want DA Padden to rectify this wrong and reshape Aurora's corrupt and racist "justice" system. She has the power to reopen these investigations into the police responsible for the deaths of Kory Dillard, Kilyn Lewis, and Jor'Dell Richardson and to indict the police who killed them.

Tips for calling in:

- Be polite but firm.

- Mention specific case names (Kory Dillard, Kilyn Lewis, Jor’Dell Richardson).

- Highlight all seven demands if comfortable, but focus on 2-3 key points for brevity.

- Close with a clear ask (e.g., "Please act now to deliver justice").

Personal Appeal

"Hi, my name is [Your Name]. As someone who cares deeply about fairness in our community, I’m asking DA Padden to stand with Aurora residents, not against us. John Kellner failed us by protecting violent police and prosecuting victims. DA Padden must correct this by reopening investigations into Kory Dillard, Kilyn Lewis, and Jor’Dell Richardson’s deaths, holding killer police accountable, and ending ICE collaboration with APD. Our city needs leadership that values lives over corruption. Thank you."
