There is a new group in Denver called Liberals and Progressives United, which is about bringing together disparate groups that have not had great sharing and communication between themselves.
The group was promoting itself at the Denver City Park Arts Festival that was well attended last Saturday.
Liberals and Progressives United will be sponsoring a mixer at the Mercury Cafe on July 16th. There have been a number of groups that have expressed interest including democrats.com and 3novembermovement.

I've been busy helping to market the ACLU-Colorado's Liberty Run/Walk Festival of Rights on July 4th. It is a fundraiser for one of the frontline groups defending our freedoms against Bush's agenda to make a mockery of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
I learned from the Denver Democrats:
June 25 -- ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR. TO SPEAK IN COLORADO
LAKEWOOD. Environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the son of the late Robert (“Bobbyâ€) Kennedy, will appear in Colorado on June 25 as the keynote speaker capping a day of issues-oriented workshops sponsored by Be the Change USA, a political action committee. The events will be held at the Douglas County Events Center in Castle Rock.
The day will begin with a pancake breakfast, followed by a “Grassroots Organization Toolbox†workshop. After a box lunch, workshop participants will attend a session on health care issues followed by another workshop focusing on the environment.
In the evening, Be the Change USA will treat registrants to a catered barbeque supper. Entertainment will be provided by Carl Dixon and the Jazz Cats prior to the evening’s speeches. Educator and former U.S. Senate candidate Mike Miles will emcee the evening, and Colorado Speaker of the House Andrew Romanoff will speak prior to Kennedy. Kennedy will be available for a book signing directly following his speech, and will end his day with a fundraising reception for Be the Change.
The cost for the entire slate of sessions including meals will be $70, $60 for seniors 65 or over and students with ID. For more information, those interested should visit the website, www.BTC-USA.org. Different rates are available for various subsets of the sessions.
Attendance at the workshops will be limited to 200 participants, so those wanting to attend the workshops should sign up early. Up to 3400 seats are available to hear Mr. Kennedy, Speaker Romanoff, and Mr. Miles. For the evening speaker part of the event only, beginning at 5:30 p.m., the cost is $35, $25 for seniors and students.

Sounds like a definite to me.
Finally, I've come across a great idea on the DailyKos.com website which is the Yearly Kos Convention 2006: How Do You Eat An Elephant? One Byte at a Time. The convention is for activists and bloggers. Check out the website. It really looks like they have it all together.
