A Capitol Performance Hosted by Colorado Legislators
This bipartisan event, hosted by Sen. Judy Amabile and Rep. Rick Taggert invites lawmakers and advocates from our district to hear the lived experience of people incarcerated in Colorado as children. It engages directly with the long-term impacts of youth incarceration, and the possibilities created when policy invests in prevention, healing, and community-based solutions. Colorado District Attorney Michael Dougherty will join the event to read the story of a man incarcerated in the adult system as a child.
Co-Hosts: Colorado Senators James Coleman (SD33), Iman Jodeh (SD29), Katie Wallace (SD17), and Mike Weissman (SD28); Colorado Representatives Jennifer Bacon (HD7), Michael Carter (HD36), Cecelia Espenoza (HD4), Lorena Garcia (HD35), Lindsay Gilchrist (HD8), Lori Goldstein (HD29), Eliza Hamrick (HD61), Junie Joseph (HD10), Karen McCormick (HD11), Kenny Nguyen (HD33), Jacque Phillips (HD31), Naquetta Ricks (HD40), Gretchen Rydin (HD38), Emily Sirota (HD9), Leslie Smith (HD49), Brianna Titone (HD27), Elizabeth Velasco (HD57) and Yara Zokaie (HD52).
