About

Denver Anti-War Action (DAWA) is a local community organization that opposes US imperialism and the military-industrial complex worldwide. Founded in November 2023 in the wake of Israel’s most recent genocidal campaign in Gaza, DAWA has worked closely with the Colorado Palestine Coalition (CPC) and other local organizations to fight the forces that seek to destroy people and nations around the world.

DAWA’s recent activity has largely focused on our campaign targeting Palantir, a software company with customers including the IOF (Israeli Occupation Forces) and ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). Palantir is in the process of moving their headquarters out of the Tabor Center in downtown Denver following several months of sustained protests targeting the location. The new headquarters is in the nearby Cherry Creek neighborhood and DAWA is now working to build a broad coalition to expel Palantir from this new location. 

We remain committed to other areas of work as well. In early October, DAWA co-founded Denver Coalition Against Trump (DENCAT), a coalition of a diverse array of local organizations with the common goal of fighting Trump’s racist and reactionary agenda.
