In case you missed it, the News Access and Literacy Task Force recommends a great opinion piece that recently ran in the Colorado Sun, Reimagining the Public Square. Read the full story here.

“….local newsrooms, libraries, schools, community and civic groups all have unique and important roles to play in helping local communities reimagine and rebuild Colorado’s public square — both online and in person. These local “bridging” institutions have a natural advantage in countering polarization and division. By intentionally creating spaces where diverse groups of local people can engage with one another as people — not as algorithm-curated voting blocs — genuine conversations about common challenges can spark empathy, understanding and solutions.”

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS

To support LWVCO’s efforts to codify the right to abortion in the Colorado Constitution in partnership with the Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice Coalition (RHRJC), we’re gathering a variety of volunteers who are willing to do what the League does best: mobilize.

 

The campaign wants 185,000 signatures, and of course signatures are needed from all 35 state senate districts by April. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to codify the right to complete reproductive healthcare for all Coloradans into our state’s constitution.


 All volunteers will be required to participate in a short training session.   


 Interested in volunteering?
