Join us for a highly interactive policy advocacy 101 workshop, where we'll explore the inner workings of the Colorado legislature and local government. Together, we will examine the different access points that shape decisions affecting your community, with a special focus on Western Rural Colorado and the influence of the "Denver Monopoly" under the Golden Dome.

Gain a comprehensive understanding of effectively influencing state and local policies, from ideation to law implementation. Walk away with practical knowledge of the various avenues available to make a difference. Whether you're a fan of "School House Rock" or new to the world of policy advocacy, you will learn how to expand your influence and take your place at the decision-making table.
