Garfield County, have you ever been asked before?
With much success, our deep listening work continues! This summer, we’re knocking on the doors of Western Colorado residents who are often left behind in our divided world today and simply asking them what daily problems they’ve been facing. No selling, no persuasion — just listening.
And the experience has been transformative. People aren’t just willing, they’re eager to share their stories. For some of the people we’ve been talking to, our conversation was the first time someone from an organization like ours has asked them what is impacting their lives. This work is not a typical canvass, and time and again, people thank our volunteers for coming to their door.
We invite you to join us in this transformative experience. Come listen with us this month. We have three short and convenient shifts coming up in Garfield County in July:
Taking part in a shift is very easy. I’ll be in touch to tell you where we’ll be meeting. (For our first shift, on July 19, we’ll meet on the patio of the Rifle Branch Library.) You’ll always be part of a team. You’re never alone! No experience is needed to join the fun. And organizers will be available for an hour before shifts begin to ensure you are prepared and briefed. Please reach out to me at hanna@westerncoloradoalliance.org with any questions!
We’ll show you exactly how easy it is next week, but in the meantime, we’ll be so happy to have you join us!
Hanna worked as a geologist in the environmental industry for a decade before shifting her professional focus to community organizing. A huge fan of hiking and camping, she is always happiest outdoors. Her love of nature led to her studies and career in Earth science, but more recently she decided that she could better serve broad environmental interests, such as extractive industry practices, renewable energy, water conservation, and sustainable agriculture, by getting involved with her local community. She is excited for the opportunity to connect with people in Garfield County and help bring the various voices of the community together to create change that benefits all residents and preserves the beautiful Western Slope. In her free time she loves exploring new trails, gardening, and chasing around her two young children.
