It's Not Too Late!
Help Us Spread the Word about the November Briefing!
Member Sharing Toolkit
Thank you for helping us spread the word about the League of Women Voters of Denver’s November program, "Challenges to Freedom of the Press."
This toolkit includes ready-to-share posts, emails, and event details you can use to invite your friends, neighbors, or community networks to join the conversation. You don’t need to be a journalist to care about this topic — it affects every voter, community, and citizen who relies on trusted information.
Here’s how you can help:
- Share the event on social media (see sample posts below that you can copy and paste into Facebook, Instagram, etc.).
- Email or message your networks — educators, book clubs, neighborhood groups, or civic organizations — and invite them to attend. (see email text below)
- Join the discussion on November 18 and invite a friend!
Together, we can help spark an informed, nonpartisan conversation about the role of journalism in a healthy democracy.

I’m helping share this important (and free!) community event hosted by the League of Women Voters of Denver. It’s a conversation about what’s at stake for democracy when local news disappears — featuring Larry Ryckman from The Colorado Sun and David Wolfgang from Colorado State University.
If you care about facts, civic engagement, or the future of trustworthy news, join us online! Watch “Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink” on PBS before the event.
