Democracy and the Colorado Constitution: Success Story or Cautionary Tale?

Note: the event begins at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time.

Be it TABOR, water rights, or cannabis, Coloradans have used their constitution to expand rights beyond those offered in the U.S. Constitution. As public attention shifts from federal to state protections, what can Colorado’s constitutional experiments teach the nation — and what are the challenges facing Coloradans? Join us for a lively discussion, including a moderated Q&A and light refreshments.
