message from the chair AMY WEINSTEIN

Thank you all for joining us tonight to celebrate Democracy, a way of life that at its core depends on the work “of the people, by the people, and for the people.” In Boulder County, “the people” are our passionate elected leaders and committed volunteers who strive every day to live our party’s values.

The Preamble for the National Democratic Party Platform calls America “an idea — one that has endured and evolved through war and depression, prevailed over fascism and communism, and radiated hope to far distant corners of the earth….diversity is our greatest strength, protest one of the highest forms of patriotism and… our fates and fortunes are bound to rise and fall together.”

Here in Boulder County our Platform Team, led by Mike Altenbern and Lisa Sweeney-Miran, gets to work every two years, investing countless hours. With input from party members, subject matter experts and of course, our community, they create the BCDP Platform: our statement of values to inform, educate, and activate voters, elected officials, and candidates.

The platform provides focus for BCDP activities in critical areas like Civil Liberties, Climate Change, Economic Prosperity and Social Justice, Education, Healthcare, and Immigrant Rights to list a few. But writing a document that sits on our web site is only the beginning. The challenge we all face as Democrats is taking those passionate opinions and living them as a party and as individuals. See the BCDP Platform, here.

For decades heroes have worked tirelessly to defend these progressive values. Heroes like BVSD Board of Education member Richard Garcia. A community activist since his years as a CU student, Richard has been a voice for equity and the rights of all citizens.

And, sheroes like Clela Ann Rorex, who sadly passed away a year ago, this month. Our own Boulder County Clerk, Clela issued our country’s very first same-sex marriage license in 1975.

Tonight, we will spotlight the Champions of Democracy who are continuing the work as they put our party platform into action each and every day. They are our local heroes, reversing injustices, opening the doors of opportunity for all Americans, and righting wrongs. Their work has protected our ideals, helping Boulder County, Colorado, and the nation, forge a stronger, brighter, and more equitable future. They are local citizens, elected leaders, champions, helping our nation rise into the twenty-first century. They are all of you... making a difference for Democracy.

Thank you all for being here tonight and thank you for everything you do to make the Boulder County Democratic Party the values-driven, Democratic powerhouse it is. Let’s get started!

— AMY WEINSTEIN, Chair of the Boulder County Democratic Party

We are grateful to Neil Fishman for his commitment to our BCDP values.

THE 2023 2023 BCDP CHAIR'S AWARD FOR LONG-TERM SERVICE RECOGNIZES: Steve Fenberg

A DEMOCRACY CHAMPION WHO, as Colorado State Senator, then Democratic Majority Leader and currently, President of the Colorado Senate, Steve Fenberg has represented Senate District 18 and the Boulder Democratic Party with an unwavering commitment to democratic values.

Steve Fenberg has always been a visionary leader even before walking on our state house floor. He was elected as a Representative-at-Large for the University of Colorado Student Union as a freshman. Later he joined the CU Student Union Executive Staff as the Director of Capital Construction and implemented new and innovative labor and environment standards for student-funded construction projects. As a student he was always raising voices, organizing debates and speakers, creating opportunities for campus discussion around issues such as academic freedom, native American land rights and labor issues. In 2006 Steve served on the CU President's Blue Ribbon Commission on Diversity.

As the founder and Executive Director for New Era Colorado, which since 2006 has registered nearly 200,000 young people to vote in our state, he was driven by the premise that “democracy works better when more people show up” ... and show up he has.

Steve has protected our Democratic priorities by putting forward legislation that embodies our party's values. He defends the economic, moral, and environmental ramifications of climate change, working to ensure that Colorado is prepared to combat possible future fires, and he is supporting Coloradans as they rebuild and recover from past climate disasters.

Steve is helping to ensure a vibrant democracy by improving our public education system and ensuring healthcare for everyone and sponsoring and passed meaningful gun legislation to keep our communities safe from gun violence. He is committed to a life of dignity and respect for every Coloradan, regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, race, or economic circumstances as is evidenced in his sponsorship and support of a wide range of legislation to create a more fair, just, and equal state for everyone.

Finally, it is thanks to Steve’s leadership that Colorado leads in protecting reproductive freedoms with the passage of the Reproductive Health Equity Act, codifying the right to abortion in Colorado state law. We congratulate Steve Fenberg on his years of commitment and dedication to democracy.

Congratulations, Senator Fenberg!

THE 2023 CHAMPIONS OF DEMOCRACY AWARD recognizes community members who are living our party’s values and thereby protecting Democracy. 

THE 2023 CHAMPIONS OF DEMOCRACY AWARDEES: Michael Dougherty & Elaina Shively

TONIGHT WE HONOR Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty and Elaina Shively, past-Director of, for their commitment to restorative justice. We recognize their groundbreaking work, to quote our 2022 BCDP County Platform applies the “highest standards of fairness and humanity” and “enforces the law and thereby protect citizens.” We applaud their programs which apply “a balanced approach to justice,” and “seek to restore the victim, the community, and the offender while holding the offender accountable and responsible.”

Under the guidance of reform-minded leaders like Michael and Elaina, restorative justice is a reality in Boulder County. They have directed the creation of The Center for Prevention and Restorative Justice (CPRJ) in the Boulder District Attorney's Office offering a range of diversionary programs for adults and juveniles. It provides an alternative to prosecution in appropriate cases, as well as a specialized Mental Health Diversion Program to divert eligible participants directly into treatment. CPRJ’s restorative diversion model uses diversion services and restorative practices to address underlying needs, hold participants meaningfully accountable, meet victims’ needs, repair harm from the crime, and support community reintegration.We honor Michael and Elaina as Champions of Democracy; their vision and hard work have made our Boulder DA's Office one of the first district attorney's offices in the country to create an in-house restorative justice program and a national leader in “smart” criminal justice reform. They have set a new standard, not just in Colorado, but around the nation.

— Congratulations, Michael and Elaina!

Remembering our first time...

THE FIRST BOULDER COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY TRUMAN DINNER was held on February 13, 1976, in the “Memorial Center Ballroom” at CU. Rumor has it there were 500 in attendance, but we don’t know what the menu was.

We’re guessing chicken.

In 1976, Dickey Lee Hullinghorst served as our party chair. Dickey Lee and the previous chair, Ron Stewart, decided to have an annual event, calling it the Truman Dinner.

Dickey Lee and a lot of good Democratic volunteers made it a reality. Senator Gary Hart, who had recently been elected in 1974, helped secure George McGovern (shown here, with Dickie Lee at our first Truman Dinner in 1976), South Dakota Senator, and our Presidential candidate in 1972, as the first keynote speaker. McGovern gave the audience a glimpse of what the country may have looked like if he had triumphed over Richard Nixon.

That first Truman Dinner boasted some local Colorado celebrities, too. Among them were newly elected Governor Dick Lamm and Congressman Tim Wirth, along with Lt. Governor George Brown and Attorney General J. D. MacFarlane. Some names from the 1976 Truman Dinner team are familiar to us today: along with Dickey Lee and Ron, there’s Charlotte Houston, Barbara Lamm, and Linda Flack.

Just like in 1976, this event is only made possible by the many volunteers who help plan and organize it. We thank Dickey Lee and Ron for getting it started, and every volunteer since then, for keeping it going.

This engaging piece of history was written by Candace Bowie, in 2015, the same year that Dickie Lee Hullinghorst was Colorado Speaker of the House, and as we celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Truman Dinner. Candace was a valued member of the BCDP Field Team, but also worked many years on the organizing of the Truman Celebration and continues to be an active and cherished member of the BoCoDem community. We hope that as we usher in the new era of the Champions of Democracy Celebration — virtual today, but hopefully in person next year — that we do Candace, Dickie Lee, and the countless volunteers who came before us — proud. And in the process, perhaps get a wink from Harry Truman himself!

I should like to talk to you briefly about civil rights and human freedom. It is my deep conviction that we have reached a turning point in the long history of our country’s efforts to guarantee freedom and equality to all our citizens. Recent events in the United States and abroad have made us realize that it is more important today than ever before to ensure that all Americans enjoy these rights. … [And] When I say all Americans, I mean all Americans...

“We cannot be content with a civil liberties program which emphasizes only the need of protection against the possibility of tyranny by the government,” Truman continued. “We cannot stop there...

“Our immediate task is to remove the last remnants of the barriers which stand between millions of our citizens and their birthright. There is no justifiable reason for discrimination because of ancestry, or religion, or race, or color.

“We must not tolerate such limitations on the freedom of any of our people and on their enjoyment of basic rights which every citizen in a truly democratic society must possess. Every man should have the right to a decent home, the right to an education, the right to adequate medical care, the right to a worthwhile job, the right to an equal share in making the public decisions through the ballot, and the right to a fair trial in a fair court. We must ensure that these rights — on equal terms — are enjoyed by every citizen. To these principles I pledge my full and continued support.

“Many of our people still suffer the indignity of insult, the harrowing fear of intimidation, and, I regret to say, the threat of physical injury and mob violence. Prejudice and intolerance in which these evils are rooted still exist. The conscience of our nation, and the legal machinery which enforces it, have not yet secured to each citizen full freedom from fear.”

— HARRY S. TRUMAN, JUNE 29, 1947
