Good Morning, Colorado, and welcome to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Wednesday December 9th, and we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you. Join us daily for an in-depth look at one of our top stories, and a quick summary of other important things happening in our state.

Today, we’re discussing Coloradans on unemployment and an online forum that’s been helping people by pleading for help from local politicians, labor officials, and even the media.

Before we begin, let’s take a look at what happened on this day in Colorado history - adapted from Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”:

Today, we take you back to December 9th, 1867 when the city of Denver was approved as the capital of Colorado. State voters formalized the choice in an 1881 election, when Denver won five times as many votes as the second place finisher, Pueblo. 

Now, our feature story. 

Colorado Sun reporter Tamara Chuang has covered unemployment in Colorado throughout the coronavirus pandemic. Today, she’s joining us to talk about an online forum where Coloradans are going to get help.

Thanks for listening. Before we go here are a few stories you should know about today:

Marlon Reis, the partner of Gov. Jared Polis, was released from the hospital Tuesday after contracting coronavirus 10 days ago and checking into the hospital for treatment over the weekend. 

Colorado drops coronavirus capacity limits on houses of worship after U.S. Supreme Court ruling

Denver police didn’t have a cohesive plan for handling large racial injustice protests that erupted last summer following the death of George Floyd, according to a report made public Tuesday by Denver’s independent police monitor.
