Democracy Decoded

Join us for a Sustainability Forum at the Alliance Center, where we’ll explore how mission-driven brands and partners can have a real voice in the policies that shape Colorado’s CPG ecosystem. Hosted in partnership with the Alliance Center, this session pairs a behind-the-scenes tour of one of Colorado’s leading sustainable buildings with Democracy Decoded, a civic engagement training designed specifically for our Sustainability community.
The Alliance Center is home to 160+ mission-aligned tenant organizations and holds 7 LEED certifications, making it a fitting backdrop for a conversation about turning sustainability values into action.
During the afternoon, we’ll:
-Tour the Alliance Center and see how a shared, certified green building brings together organizations working on environmental and social impact.
-Decode how the Colorado legislature works, from how a bill becomes a law to the session calendar, committee process, and key deadlines.
-Learn practical ways to get involved, including meeting with your legislators, testifying on a bill, and tracking the policies that matter to your business.
-Connect with fellow sustainability leaders and purpose-driven businesses committed to building healthier, more resilient systems together.
-Explore how the farm bill and Colorado agriculture legislation affect sourcing, regenerative practices, and your supply chain; and why adding your voice to the conversation matters!
Whether you’re brand new to civic engagement or ready to sharpen your approach, this Forum offers a chance to turn your sustainability commitment into meaningful influence.
