Register here: https://www.classy.org/event/follow-the-money-workshop/e203412
Colorado's upcoming election is breaking records for campaign spending. But where is all of this money coming from -and how is it being used to influence your vote?
Please join The Alliance Center and Colorado Common Cause on Tuesday, October 16, at 5:30 p.m. to learn who raises and spends money in Colorado elections -from candidates to Super PACS to "dark money" groups -at our upcoming Follow the Money workshop.
Participants will learn how to use OpenSecrets.org, FollowTheMoney.org, and the Colorado Secretary of State's TRACER website to find the donors behind the advertisements you see and hear during the election cycle. You'll walk away with a better understanding of campaign finance law in Colorado, and what to look and listen for in political advertisements.
Please bring a laptop and any campaign literature that you have received this year. Doors open at 5 p.m. Program begins at 5:30pm. Drinks and hors d’oeuvres will be served.

Talanoa Dialogues
Talanoa Dialogues
October 18, 2018 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
The Alliance Center, 1536 Wynkoop St, Denver, CO 80202, USA
Register here: https://www.classy.org/event/talanoa-dialogue/e200836
Talanoa is a traditional word used in Fiji and across the Pacific to reflect a process of inclusive, participatory and transparent dialogue. The purpose of Talanoa is to share stories, build empathy and to make wise decisions for the collective good. The process of Talanoa involves the sharing of ideas, skills and experience through storytelling.
During the process, participants build trust and advance knowledge through empathy and understanding. Blaming others and making critical observations are inconsistent with building mutual trust and respect, and therefore inconsistent with the Talanoa concept. Talanoa fosters stability and inclusiveness in dialogue, by creating a safe space that embraces mutual respect for a platform for decision making for a greater good.
Through these dialogues, government and stakeholders will come to the table in around 40 countries to drive forward multilevel climate action worldwide. A readout from this dialogue will feed into climate negotiations at COP 24.
The initiative is part of a wider, global exercise on national climate action, an outcome of COP23, the 23rd United Nations Climate Change Conference last year in Bonn. It is designed to engage climate stakeholders in taking stock of and shaping national climate plans through in-country consultations throughout 2018.
Join the conversation as we discuss The Paris Climate Agreement:
- WHERE ARE WE?
- WHERE DO WE WANT TO GO?
- HOW DO WE GET THERE?
Hosted by ICLEI and The Alliance Center.

“How Can we Link Youth, Environment and the Economy?” - Tools teenagers need to connect environmental knowledge and ALL careers
“How Can we Link Youth, Environment and the Economy?” - Tools teenagers need to connect environmental knowledge and ALL careers
October 23, 2018 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
The Alliance Center, 1536 Wynkoop St, Denver, CO 80202, USA
Please register HERE or contact Martin Ogle at Martin@EntrepreneurialEarth.com or 720-612-0506.
Sustainability advocates tout a “green economy” and the environmental education profession promotes “environmental literacy.” It’s time to intimately connect these two parallel pathways to inspire and educate young people on how aspects of all careers and livelihoods can nourish their families, communities and the living systems upon which we all depend.
Please join us at the Alliance Center to advance an "ALL Careers approach" that empowers young people to connect environmental principles with All Careers to create a sustainable world.
Program to include:
Presentation to inspire a mindset shift of how we define environmental careers as well as identify specific links between environmental knowledge/concern and ALL careers.
Panel discussion with educators, youth development advocates and members of the business community considering how we can provide young people the information, tools and perspectives to purposefully incorporate sustainability into all areas of the economy . . . any and all careers they pursue.
Networking, Conversation and Refreshments.
Discussion of next steps for making connections between environmental knowledge/concern and ALL careers?
Professionals in sustainability, education, business and non-profit are invited to attend. Students with interest in leading the advancement of the green economy are also welcome.
**
Thoughts from Alan Hankla, Physics Teacher at Peak to Peak Charter School in Lafayette, CO, who was moved by the ALL Careers approach: “[the talk] at Peak to Peak inspired me to broaden my understanding of what an environmental career is to encompass almost all careers ranging from agriculture to engineering, and everything in between. With this shift in mindset, my students felt empowered to positively affect the health of the environment, regardless of their chosen major in college.”

The Human Element: Film Screening and Q&A with Creator James Balog
The Human Element: Film Screening and Q&A with Creator James Balog
October 29, 2018 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Register here: https://www.classy.org/event/the-human-element-a-film-screening-with-creator-james-balog/e206225
Please join us to experience The Human Element, a new film from acclaimed photographer and storyteller James Balog. Mr. Balog uses his camera to reveal how environmental change is affecting the lives of everyday Americans. Following the four classical elements— air, earth, fire and water— to frame his journey, Balog explores wildfires, hurricanes, sea level rise, coal mining, and the changes in the air we breathe. With compassion and heart, The Human Element tells an urgent story while giving inspiration for a more balanced relationship between humanity and nature. This film is particularly poignant for us here in Denver as it explores the impacts of poor air quality on the health of children in the Denver metro area.
Mr. Balog will be available after the film for questions and a conversation about what we can do to change our ways and make human kind a force for progress and hope.
