Plan to join us for a cocktail reception (with heavy appetizers and one complimentary drink) and silent auction, followed by the screening with a panel discussion of the documentary film RBG starring United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

The panel discussion will address Justice Ginsburg's legacy, and the future of law and policy in the areas of gender and racial equality in the context of education, equal pay, reproductive rights, voting rights, and criminal prosecution. Colorado Supreme Court Justice Melissa Hart will moderate the panel discussion with other female leaders, including the following:

Judge Sandra Rothenberg (Ret.), Senior Judge, Colorado Court of Appeals
Rep. Jessie Danielson (D), Legislator, Speaker Pro Tempore of the House, Colorado General Assembly
Sen. Cheri Jahn (U), Senator/Small Business Owner, Colorado General Assembly
Denise Maes, Esq., Public Policy Director of the ACLU of Colorado
Professor Catherine Smith, University of Denver Sturm College of Law

At the age of 85, Justice Ginsburg has developed a breathtaking legal legacy while becoming an unexpected pop culture icon. But without a definitive Ginsburg biography, the unique personal journey of this diminutive, quiet warrior's rise to the nation's highest court has been largely unknown, even to some of her biggest fans – until now. RBG is a revelatory documentary exploring Ginsburg 's exceptional life and career from Betsy West and Julie Cohen, and co-produced by Storyville Films and CNN Films.

Tickets are $75 which includes heavy appetizers, complimentary drink (courtesy of the Denver Film Society), panel discussion and film screening. Free parking available in the Sie's parking garage.

All tickets are being sold through the Sie FilmCenter website.

All funds raised through this event will support the Colorado Women’s Bar Association's vitally important public policy work and its lobbying at the State Capitol. The CWBA’s public policy work allows it to serve as a strong advocate for issues and legislation important to advancing the interests and well-being of women and children.
