Advocacy & Volunteer Opportunities
You’re Invited! 2024 Legislative Education & Advocacy Day (LEAD):
Mental Health Colorado is excited to announce that our annual LEAD event will take place on March 6 from 7:30 AM – 3:00 PM in Denver. Join us for a full day of in-person legislative education and advocacy focused on our legislative priorities and this year’s theme: “Care, Not Cuffs.”
CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
- Morning at the Capitol (7:30 AM – 1:00 PM): We will host an advocacy training breakfast on how to advocate effectively on our legislative priorities. After the training, you will have the opportunity to go to Colorado’s Capitol, watch floor proceedings, and meet face-to-face with legislators to share your story and discuss the bills they should support.
-
- Afternoon Discussion on Care, Not Cuffs (1:00 – 3:00 PM): We will transition back from the Capitol to a networking lunch with advocates and legislators. We will hear from our Keynote Speaker, Judge Steven Leifman (Miami-Dade County, Florida), and a panel of experts will discuss what our state is doing to move toward meeting health needs with health care, and disentangling mental health from the criminal justice system.
Legislative Weekly Round Ups: We are sending weekly emails during Legislative Session to keep all Brain Wavers up-to-date with relevant and upcoming opportunities to weigh in and testify at committee hearings.
Learn about advocating with Mental Health Colorado: Schedule a call with our Senior Policy Advocate, Bridget, to learn about the Legislative Process and how to be an advocate.
