Denver's City Council has a tremendous impact on the laws that govern our city. There are a number of sustainable living issues (including the urban agriculture section in the new zoning code, a new Food-Producing Animals ordinance, and lots more) that Council will vote on in the upcoming months. The newly vacant seat in District 1 has created an opportunity for all Denver residents to affect the direction of our City Council.

Susan Shepherd is one of the candidates running for the vacant seat, in a special election that is taking place within the next few weeks. Susan has a deep interest in sustainability issues and has pledged to make urban sustainability one of the platforms of her campaign.

Our talkback event will begin with a brief introduction by Susan, where she will outline her ideas for championing sustainable/green initiatives. After that introduction, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and/or make statements regarding the changes you would like to see the City Council support. Your input will help shape the issues Susan will pursue when she is elected to City Council. Please participate even if you don't live in District 1 --- the decisions that City Council make will impact the entire city.

This is a great opportunity to voice your concerns, and get inspired to connect with other candidates and/or folks who are already in City Council. See you there!
