2-Day Civic Workout

So, what is this program all about?

Day 1: The Hilarious (But Useful) Voter Guide and Ways to Improve Elections

Do you ever know anything about the Judges we vote for? Of course not, no one does! We’re going to change that with some epic battles and real (i.e. fake) biographies created by some of Colorado’s best comedians (Jordan Jordan Doll, Sam Tallent, Mara Wiles, Kevin O’Brien, Nathan Lund).

An easy listening jazz version of The League of Women Voters’ Voter Guide created by Adam Stone.

Horrible, quickly-made Photoshop versions of candidate battles… You’ll leave knowing what you’ll be voting on, but you’ll also never forget how you learned it!

Representatives from many local groups will be on hand for your questions including: Elena Nunez from Colorado Common Cause, Peg Perl from Colorado Ethics Watch, (among others).

Better than CrossFit! And we guarantee–it will be less sweaty, and more fun.

Day 2: A Commitment Ceremony (we’re all gonna get married–to Denver!!), and How We Can Start To Move Beyond Elections

Okay, so you took your lunch break (or licked the stamp on the mail-in ballot) and voted. Are you done being a citizen until next year?

We say NO WAY!

Come find out about how to be an active citizen and converse with other folks about ways to improve our community that have nothing to do with voting.

Feel free to wear your old wedding dress or sky-blue tuxedo and take take part in the Commitment Ceremony (complete with a 100% genuine, honest-to-goodness, internet-licensed officiant) and hear from local civic groups including Bill Fulton from Civic Canopy discussing the brand-spanking new Colorado Civic Health Index.
