Our statewide Town Hall invites Coloradans into an open conversation about democratic resilience and what strengthens it, what threatens it, and how communities can respond together. Rather than formal presentations, this session centers community experience, cross-issue insight, and shared problem-solving.

Chairs and members from LWVCO’s ten Task Forces will help guide this conversation, drawing from their work in voting rights, climate, news access, gun violence prevention, health equity, reproductive freedom, housing, education, and justice. Participants will explore what democratic resilience requires across Colorado’s diverse communities and how collective action can build a stronger civic landscape.

Together, we will elevate community wisdom and identify strategies for meeting the moment, and protecting democracy where it lives: with the people.
