One Colorado is kicking off a statewide education and outreach tour at the end of September to connect with communities in 15 cities throughout the state. From Colorado Springs to Fort Collins, from Grand Junction to Aurora, from Pueblo to Glenwood Springs, we are hitting the road to hear about what matters most to Coloradans in a time when the LGBTQ+ community is facing unprecedented attacks. From the over 520 anti-LGBTQ+ bills introduced in legislatures across the country to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in the 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis case to the current constitutional ban on same sex marriage in Colorado, we know we can’t back down. We must come together to talk about how this climate is impacting us and our families, and what we can do to organize together for a brighter future. Register HERE
