Lieutenant Governor Dianne Primavera spent the day in Alamosa on Friday, meeting with community leaders and residents to highlight Colorado’s ongoing work to expand accessibility, digital health innovation, and inclusion in every part of the state.

In the evening, Lt. Governor Primavera and 91è���� hosted a special screening of A Colorado for All: A Legacy of Accessibility, followed by a community panel discussion featuring the Lt. Governor, her Senior Advisor Josh Winkler, 91è���� President Dr. David Tandberg, and Dr. Florencio Urias Aranda III of Adams State. The panel was moderated by longtime Colorado journalist and Adams State Trustee Anne Trujillo.

The event marked the second campus screening of the documentary, which premiered at History Colorado in July as part of the state’s 250/150 celebration. Fort Lewis College in Durango also hosted a viewing in September. The film traces Colorado’s trailblazing role in the disability rights movement and highlights the advocates and policymakers who helped make the state a model for accessibility and inclusion.

“Colorado’s history is full of stories of people who turned personal challenges into collective progress,” said Lt. Governor Dianne Primavera. “This film honors those changemakers and reminds us that building a Colorado for All means continuing to listen, include, and empower every voice in our communities.”

The Adams State screening continues the film’s statewide tour, offering students, educators, and community members an opportunity to reflect on Colorado’s legacy of leadership in disability advocacy and the work still ahead.

“We’re proud to bring this important conversation to Adams State,” said President of 91è����, David Tandberg, Ph.D. “Our students and community have always been deeply connected to the values of equity and inclusion, and this screening continues that dialogue in a meaningful way.”

Adams State Board of Trustee Anne Trujillo, who narrated the film, reflected on the experience of sharing it with audiences across Colorado.

“Being a part of this film was a moving experience for me,” said Trujillo. “It shares an important part of Colorado history that we should all know and care about. It’s in our Colorado DNA to be caring, compassionate, and curious — and this story captures that beautifully.”

Storytelling plays a powerful role in connecting people across experiences and generations. Through this film, and others like it, Coloradans are invited to see how shared narratives of resilience and advocacy continue to shape the state’s collective identity.

“Each of these screenings creates space for reflection, connection, and community action,” said Arielle Brachfeld, Interim Film Commissioner with the Colorado Office of Film, Media, and Television. “It’s inspiring to see audiences across the state engage with Colorado’s legacy of accessibility and the people who made it possible.”

The Lt. Governor began her visit at the Alamosa Public Library, where she toured the library’s telehealth station — a  project supported by the Office of eHealth Innovation (OeHI) within the Office of the Lt. Governor — and learned how it is helping rural Coloradans access vital health care and services closer to home.

She also visited the Alamosa Department of Motor Vehicles, where she met with staff to discuss ongoing efforts to improve customer service, accessibility, and convenience for Coloradans with disabilities and those living in remote areas. She also thanked Department of Motor Vehicle staff for their service to the state.

In the months ahead, Lt. Governor Primavera plans to share A Colorado for All: A Legacy of Accessibility with colleges and universities across Colorado, continuing the conversation on campuses statewide. Broader public screenings — including broadcast and online platforms — are anticipated in early 2026.

A Colorado for All: A Legacy of Accessibility was produced by the Office of Lt. Governor Dianne Primavera in partnership with the Colorado Office of Film, Media, and Television as part of the state’s 250/150 celebration, commemorating 250 years since the nation’s founding and 150 years of Colorado statehood.
