Applications are open for Lobby Day leaders for Freedom for All: LGBTQIA+ Lobby Day 2026, a newly expanded two-day event, to be held Feb. 22-23 at the Colorado State Capitol.
Lobby Day leaders will guide participants through key legislative issues, help them share their stories with lawmakers and ensure all voices are heard.
“Being a Lobby Leader is more than a volunteer title, it’s an opportunity to step up with purpose, to lead through storytelling, and remind our elected officials that LGBTQIA+ Coloradans are here to stay,” said Aspen Rawson, a One Colorado lobby leader.
The expansion of the event reflects One Colorado’s commitment to breaking down barriers between LGBTQIA+ Coloradans and the policymaking process. The event will feature a day of training on advocacy and storytelling and a day of lobbying.
“In a time when immigrant rights, reproductive rights and LGBTQIA+ rights are under attack across the country, community leadership and unity are essential,” said Brandi Hardy, lead field organizing strategist at One Colorado. “Transgender, non-binary and gender-expansive folks have become the scapegoat for far right extremists. LGBTQIA+ Lobby Day isn’t just about showing up for one day, it’s about building the infrastructure needed to protect our communities, for years to come.”
