*"Liberty and justice for all."*

It’s not a mindless phrase. It’s a promise – one we must fight to keep.

*Without laws, there is no liberty. **Without liberty, democracy is lost.*

------------------------------

For 105 years, the League of Women Voters of Colorado has stood on the
frontlines, defending our democracy. But today, lawlessness threatens
everything we’ve built.

*On June 20, 2024, we gather to honor those who are fighting back:*
⚖   *Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser *– Defending voting rights.
🏛  *District Attorney Daniel Rubinstein *– Upholding election integrity.

------------------------------
*Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser*

*District Attorney Daniel Rubinstein*
*21st Judicial District, Colorado*
------------------------------

*University of Denver | 4:30* – 7:00 PM (Arrive Early! Happy Hour &
Mingling from 4:30 - 5:00 PM)*
*Join us. Defend democracy.*

SECURE YOUR SEAT! INDIVIDUAL TICKETS & SPONSORSHIPS AVAILABLE NOW

*Rescuing Democracy From Tech Bros*

*Tuesday, March 25, 2025*
6 p.m. EDT // 5 p.m. CDT // 4 p.m. MDT // 3 p.m. PDT // 2 p.m. AKDT
*Hosted on Zoom.*

*Presented in partnership with the Leagues of Women Voters of Alaska and
Colorado.*

We'll be joined by Anne Applebaum who a staff writer for *The Atlantic* and
a Pulitzer-prize winning historian. She is also a senior fellow at the SNF
Agora Institute and the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International
Studies, where she co-directs Arena, a program on disinformation and 21st
century propaganda.

Her newest book, *Autocracy, Inc.*, published in 2024, gives an alarming
account of how autocracies work together to undermine the democratic world,
and how we should organize to defeat them. Prior to that, her book, *The
Twilight of Democracy: The Seductive Lure of Authoritarianism*, explained
why some of her contemporaries have abandoned liberal democratic ideals in
favor of strongman cults, nationalist movements, or one-party states.
