No Kings Rally, October 18th. West Steps of the Colorado State Capitol. 12:00pm-4:00pm. Peacefully protest against rampant corruption.

It is easy to feel powerless in the face of corruption and cruelty, but tomorrow, people across the country will come together for the No Kings Day of Action to peacefully protest the oligarchy that is carving up our country. This is about showing up for each other and making our voices heard.

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Ute peoples who call this region home. Their culture​ and contributions endure despite centuries of displacement and erasure.​ May this day renew our responsibility to truth-telling and respect for Indigenous sovereignty.

Today we honor generations of working people who fought for rights we might take for granted: minimum wage, overtime pay, safe workplaces, and the freedom to organize. As we spend time with our loved ones, let’s remember progress comes when working people stand together. There is so much more to do!

Thank you to everyone who came to our emergency town hall last night. In the face of Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, it was inspiring to see so many neighbors come together, ask thoughtful questions, and share your concerns. When we come together, we’re stronger than the problems in front of us.

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill blew a $1.2 billion hole in Colorado’s budget. Now, Republicans’ cuts threaten working families across our state. Come to our Big Bill Fallout Emergency Town Hall to hear happened during Colorado's Special Session and what it means for you.

The House Appropriations Committee is now debating bills that would close corporate tax loopholes to protect funding for critical services.

Rep. @emilyforco.bsky.social's bill would permanently decouple from a federal tax credit that allows high earners to avoid paying taxes on 20% of their income.

Bills to Crack Down on Offshore Tax Cheats, Close Tax Breaks for Corporations and Protect Critical Services Pass Committee Bills aim to crack down on tax evasion, tax breaks for corporations and would help fill $1 billion revenue hole created by Congressional Republicans’ budget

Reps. @emilyforco.bsky.social, @repyara.bsky.social & Bob Marshall's bills to close corporate tax loopholes to protect funding for core services, like K-12 schools and health care, passed committee.
