Our three panelists will address the likely issues and proposals from across the state during the January to May 2025 legislative session. Our speakers will be Chaer Robert from the Colorado Center on Law and Policy; Caroline Nutter, Legislative Coordinator at the Colorado Fiscal Institute; and Andrea Wilkins, LWVCO Legislative Liaison. 
 
On the heels of a very busy session last year, the 75th General Assembly will address an array of issues that touch on LWV positions. Will there be new legislation affecting voting access, healthcare, affordable housing, education funding, and other topics of interest to Denver Leaguers?  Please join us and invite others!

Join Us at the MLK Marade
Monday, January 20, 10:00 a.m.
City Park


Representatives from LWV Denver plan to meet for the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Marade.  The event officially begins at 9:30 a.m.  Since the weather is forecast to be bitter cold, we're planning to arrive a bit later at the MLK monument to listen to the speakers.  For those interested, we can then march downtown, leaving the park at approximately 10:45 a.m.  If you'd like to join us for all or part of the event, we'll be meeting at:

The Pinnacle at City Park South - Lobby
2990 East 17th Avenue
High-rise on the south side of 17th Avenue, between Fillmore and St. Paul
(look for a large yellow sculpture)
9:45 - 10:00 a.m.

We'll walk over to the MLK monument in the park at 10am.  For more information about the event, visit drmartinlkingjrchc.org/ For questions about our LWV gathering, contact Lisa at lisa.m.haddox@gmail.com

Changes Coming to How We Join and Renew

Next installment! 

 

Every current member of the League of Women Voters will receive an email from LWVUS (membership@lwv.org) the week of February 3 asking you to log in to the Membership Portal for the first time and update your information in the National database. You are not being asked to renew or pay dues, only to log in and complete your member information.  Please let Kayla in the office know if you have any questions.

A follow-up to last week's update on "sustaining" members:  Sustaining members donate above and beyond the dues amount.  In the new system, this additional amount should be put on the donation page when renewing (see example screenshot).  It can be any amount and is so appreciated and needed to support our Denver League's work. 

For more information from LWVUS, you can find a list of FAQs located on the National League website at lwv.org under League Management. You can also email membership@lwv.org with any questions.
