The Colorado Rural Electric Listening Tour

The Colorado Rural Electric Listening Tour is a joint collaboration from Solar United Neighbors and We Own It, with support from the Craig Chamber of Commerce and the Crossing the Divide Podcast. The event is intended to facilitate vital community conversations regarding the transition to a new renewable energy electric grid. Being in the midst of worldwide evolving priorities for the electricity sector, these conversations will reflect upon local community challenges, opportunities, and the personal stories which come with it. 

Participatory Norms
To encourage an inclusive atmosphere while respecting the emotional weight economic, we ask all participants to agree to community norms. These norms include:

Be respectful

• Honor others' experience as you would like your to be honored
• Be open to new ideas; disagreements can be healthy to build understanding
• Stay under 3 minutes to allow others time to share

Share your story

• Keep it as concise as you can and without jargon
• Use "I" statements to speak from your own experience
• Avoid giving generalizations

Assume good intent

• Words can be interpreted differently; be thoughtful of intent versus impact
