Why School Board Elections Matter—Especially in CO-4

School boards decide what your kids learn, which books stay, & whether all students feel safe.

In CO-4, Kristi Burton Brown now on the State Board, pushing politics into classrooms—limiting curriculum, expanding charters, and erasing inclusion.

Happy Birthday, Colorado!

After 149 years, you’re still wild, still beautiful, still not handing power to extremists—and still here for all Coloradans.

“The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.”
— Abraham Lincoln

So yeah—that South Park. Our South Park.

Absurdity aside. Beneath the chaos, it’s a sharp take on fear, censorship, and silence.

When satire’s doing the job our institutions won’t, maybe it’s time we stop getting so comfortable.

Trump’s recent EO tells states to lock up people who are homeless, addicted, or mentally ill.

Instead of housing or care, it’s handcuffs and institutions.

It targets Colorado’s most vulnerable — veterans, families, rural residents.

Push back. Vote for leaders who invest in people, not prisons.

Hope is that thing inside us that insists, despite all evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us if we have the courage to reach for it, and to work for it, and to fight for it.”
— Barack Obama

Today is hope day. Today and every day, we choose hope.

Hope is not blind optimism. It’s not ignoring the enormity of the task ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path. It’s not sitting on the sidelines or shirking from a fight.

We don’t get to coast on history.
We have to live up to it.

We either defend it — or we surrender it.

Choose wisely.

The 14th Amendment was ratified on this day in 1868 — a radical act of reconstruction and reckoning.

It promised citizenship and equal protection to everyone born in this country. Everyone. No asterisks. No exceptions.

This is what people power looks like. Let’s keep showing up. Protect what’s ours.

July is National Parks & Rec Month — and we’re breathing a little easier knowing our public lands are still ours.

Trump’s dangerous “BBB” budget passed, but thanks to public outcry, language to sell off national parks was removed.

In CO-4, fresh leadership is stepping up:
@trishacalvarese.bsky.social
@eileenlaubacher.bsky.social
@padoraforco.bsky.social

Voters here have a real choice — and a real chance to shape the future.

School board elections are coming in 2025, too. Let’s get ready.

Start local. Go wide.

The BBB is a wake-up call. National policy is shaped by local power.

That’s why we’re focused on:
• Flipping school boards
• Electing down-ballot pro-democracy leaders
• Fighting disinfo with trusted messengers
