If, in *this* moment, you're a legislator who chooses to go hang out w/ corporate lobbyists at a fancy hotel in Vail instead of standing up for everyday Coloradans who are struggling like hell, you might be wildly out of touch w/ where the electorate is at.

The fact that this thing I wrote happened to come out in @convergencemag.com on a day SCOTUS is trying to erase us feels right on.
Trans people are not the enemy.
The people picking all of our pockets are.

Proud to be one of several organizers of this statement. We must always fight like hell against those who try to use communities in pain as political pawns in a quest for power -- especially when there is an attempt to set them against one another.

They've come for immigrants.
They've come for trans folks.
Now they're coming for union leaders.
As someone who is two out of three, if you love me, don't look away. And, for the love of god, speak up. Silence is complicity.

Also, calling a teacher and union leader "out of touch" is a hell of a CHOICE, particularly from a party currently trying to throw people off Medicaid & SNAP just to make the ultra-wealthy even richer. I'll take my union siblings over your country club buddies on "any day that ends in Y", thanks.

There is no room for antisemitism, bigotry, and hate anywhere.

CO-8 Congressman Gabe Evans is holding a news conference on the steps of the Colorado State Capitol.
Hard to hear as protestors have gone from โDo your jobโ to โGabe you suck.โ
Still waiting to ask questions to Evans. Hope to be able to shortly.

Labor officials are eying the potential: Not only is 2026 a midterm year during a Republican presidency, but April data released by the bipartisan Colorado Polling Institute found that labor unions had the highest total favorability ratings of any person or group in the state included in the survey โ including Polis, who placed second.

Headline: Gov. Polis vetoes Colorado bill that would have eased union formation
Image of text that reads: โThis veto from Governor Polis is a betrayal of working people in Colorado, but also one we are not surprised about,โ Wynn Howell, Colorado Working Families Party state director, said in a statement after the veto. โGiven that he is one of the wealthiest men in Colorado, it is no shock that he is woefully out of touch with public opinion on this question.โ
Image of text that reads: Howell called on Attorney General Phil Weiser and U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, two Democrats in the race for Colorado governor next year, to weigh in on whether they would have signed the bill. โWill Senator Bennet or AG Weiser stand with workers? Or will they just be more of the same stale and out of touch anti-worker politics in Colorado? Neither one has said publicly whether they would sign the Worker Protection Act, and at this point their silence is deafening. We urge them to answer that question clearly and unambiguously,โ they wrote.
I said what I said. And I'll say it again. ๐ข

While this is a welcome shift, Rep. Shannon Bird still hasnโt taken responsibility or shown any regret for her NO vote.
Thatโs why Working Families Power is now focusing its primary accountability efforts on Rep. Bird.

Only two democrats in the state capitol voted against the bill to protect our immigrant neighbors from Trumpโs abuses. Sen Kyle Mullica: 303-866-4451 Rep. Shannon Bird: 303-866-2843 Give them a call today & tell them to stand up to Trump, not vote with MAGA republicans.
Rep. Bird & Sen. Mullica were the ONLY Democratic state legislators to vote against the bill to protect our immigrant neighbors from Trump's abuses (SB276).

The House shouldn't take up this veto override, period.
IJS: if WFP, Governor Polis and Senator Baisley are all agreeing a thing is a problem #coleg probably ought to pause their rush towards it and take a longer, harder look. That's quite a spread of ideology. #copolitics
