Colorado-Based Brewability, a pizzeria and brewpub that primarily employs individuals with developmental disabilities, will host a "My Vote Matters" music video premiere party on Sept. 15. The event will be held in conjunction with Developmental Pathways, which partnered with community advocate Jim Brennan to create a parody sing-along music video to raise awareness about the importance of voting, according to a press release.

"Brewability is a place for everyone in the community to come together," Tiffany Fixter, founder and owner, said in the release. "We're excited to host the "My Vote Matters" premiere to help empower individuals with disabilities to vote on the issues that matter most to them."

The first viewing of the music video begins at 5:30 p.m. All attendees will be able to enjoy the music video thanks to Brewability's vibrational dance floor, funded by a grant through DP in July. Additionally, nonpartisan election officials from Arapahoe and Douglas Counties will be there to assist with voter registration.

"People with disabilities often rely on services and support systems funded by state and federal dollars to access important resources like housing, education, and medical care," Kim Tenure, DP's associate director for disability policy, said in the press release. "Voting is critical for this community because what's on the ballot may impact their ability to be included in key decisions."
