SUMMARY:Community Debate on Amendment 87: Colorado’s Graduated Income Tax Proposal
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nHear speakers for and against a graduated income tax\, then share your own views in a Braver Angels forum. \nJoin us for a Braver Angels debate\, hosted by the Denver Press Club– you won’t find anywhere else — a space to think together\, listen with curiosity\, and engage across differences on one of Colorado’s most important ballot questions this year. \nDebate topic:\nResolved: Colorado should adopt a graduated income tax to increase funding for K–12 education\, health care\, and early childhood services. \nNote: This resolution does not represent Braver Angels’ or the Denver Press Club’s stance on the issue. The moderators will alternate between speeches supporting and opposing the resolution. \nThis topic is directly connected to Amendment 87 / Initiative 195 on the Colorado state ballot. If you’re trying to make sense of the issue\, want to hear thoughtful arguments from both sides\, or simply want to experience a healthier way of engaging politics\, this debate is for you. \nThis debate will feature two speakers in the affirmative and two speakers in the negative\, followed by time for any attendee to speak\, ask questions\, or offer a perspective. Whether you come to share your thoughts or simply to listen\, you’ll be part of a structured\, respectful conversation that helps us understand one another more deeply. \nTickets\nTickets are free\, but please RSVP\, and donations to Braver Angels and the Denver Press Club are appreciated.  \nPlease RSVP here \nor here https://www.eventbrite.com/e/community-debate-on-amendment-87-colorados-graduated-income-tax-proposal-registration-2002314419329 \nMore Information\nTo learn more about Braver Angels’ debates\, you can check out the quick start guide and a video about the spirit of a Braver Angels Debate.
