Early on, WESTAF had WAAN members agree to prioritize state relief packages in their advocacy work; convened knowledge sharing sessions about the specific strategies successful states had been using; and since that time has been engaged in conversations with some individual states\u00a0 to support their efforts. The topic has regularly been the focal point of discussion in WAAN meetings, and we were asked to support direct advocacy in some states. In Colorado, we manage the lobbyist directly and have been involved in direct advocacy including our own letters to legislators, activation of our CO advocacy list, and giving testimony at committee hearings. David along with leaders from Colorado Creative Industries, Colorado Business Committee for the Arts, and the lobbying firm Brandeberry McKenna Public Affairs exchanged messages in an active group text string to organize and respond to each step of the process through the legislature during this session.

The Alliance Center is an award-winning coworking and event space, home to many of Colorado&#8217;s leading nonprofits focusing on social, economic and environmental wellbeing. It&#8217;s located in Denver\u2019s central LoDo district, so it&#8217;s close to all the public transportation. They have 16 meeting spaces that can be reserved for use, their administrative and operations infrastructure is impressive, they have larger rooms for board and all-staff meetings and they prioritize a healthy and fun work culture with yoga classes, happy hours and other events! As a reminder, we are looking for just some minimal office space where staff can meet 1:1, in small teams or with the whole group, and where we can onboard new team members. Our plan is for staff to sign up to use the drop-in work desks in the Alliance Center, and then sign up to use conference rooms for larger gatherings. Our lease starts July 1 (their spaces are getting snatched up quickly so we had to jump right in!). Thanks to Justine and the celebration committee for kicking off a plan for all-team tours and orientation of our new space, which will happen throughout July.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>FUAFUAGA FUAFUAGA (CGREEN)<\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Na fono le vaega o faiga faavae ia Iuni 24 e faamautu ai le lisi o fesili mo le vaega muamua o se suesuega e lua vaega o le a latou auina atu i ofisa faatufugaga a le setete ma faalapotopotoga faatufugaga a le setete.
