Congress has voted to rescind previously allocated federal funding to public and nonprofit media, including @npr.org, Rocky Mountain PBS, PBS12.

We remain committed to supporting these critical pillars in our communities. They keep us informed, connected, and safe, especially during emergencies.

@naomiamaha02.bsky.social, our director of policy & government affairs, spoke on a national panel discussing philanthropy's role in supporting civic engagement.

Civic engagement is a core part of our grantmaking, policy, and advocacy work, and we’re grateful to be a part of these conversations.

Another great conversation with legislative leaders on the 2025 session. If you weren't able to join us, check out the recording!

This year's discussion will touch on the state's budget and how the legislature can respond to federal actions from a policy perspective.

It's not too late to register and submit a question for our speakers, Representatives Ryan Gonzalez and Emily Sirota 🏛️ 💡

Together with other funders and businesses throughout Colorado, we can make a real difference in support of public and nonprofit media, including @npr.org and Rocky Mountain PBS.

About the ACA: go talk to elder Millennials who were dropped from their parents' insurance at the height of the Great Recession because they aged out... when no one was hiring.

Go talk to anyone living with pre-existing conditions.

Was the ACA enough? No. Better than what existed before? Yes.

Beautiful afternoon at Cheesman Park! #Denver

Tax Contributions of Undocumented Immigrants If 10 percent of undocumented immigrants left Colorado, the state would lose $23.8 million in federal taxes and $12.4 million in state and local taxes.

Undocumented immigrants make significant financial contributions to our communities and fill critical gaps in the labor force, as this @bellpolicy.bsky.social piece outlines. That needs to be part of the conversation. #copolitics #coleg www.bellpolicy.org/2021/02/19/u...
