THIS!!!! The top 1% should pay more than the rest of us. It just makes sense. Once we reform Colorado's tax code, we'll be able to make billionaires pay their fair share while cutting taxes for everyday people.

YOU have the opportunity to suggest changes to the Colorado Springs charter (it’s basically the City’s constitution)! Read Walat’s blog to learn more about getting involved at the local level: neweracoloradoaction.org/how-you-can-...

Great to see New Era's past + current political powerhouses talk about civic engagement as more than just voting. It's a tool in our democracy, but not the only one we have in the box! Read more about our issue-centered civic engagement work + our national movement: thefulcrum.us/civic-engage...

TABOR supporters want you to think that we’ll get refund checks every year, but that’s flat-out wrong: Colorado officials have already said we won’t get them next year. Tell legislators we’re not naive and need tax reform NOW! Send an email: bit.ly/reformTABOR #copolitics #coleg

DID YOU KNOW: The evil mastermind of TABOR, Douglas Bruce, was later convicted of crimes including tax fraud and tax evasion? And you’re telling me THAT’s who we trusted with our tax system? We need policy change now. bit.ly/FairTaxesCO

Once we rewrite the tax code, middle- to low-income earners will pay significantly less while taxes will increase for people making the most money in our state. Send an email: bit.ly/reformTABOR

Kiyana Newell, @neweracolorado.bsky.social: "As an organization, we’ve come to understand that TABOR has a devastating impact on young people's future. We support giving the courts the chance to weigh in on whether TABOR is constitutional, and more importantly, whether it’s just."

Colorado Springs! Did ya know there is an election on April 1? There are six council seats up for grabs! Remember: your vote can literally change the results. THREE votes decided the race for House District 16 – and there are fewer voters in each council district!

Thank you, Nicole, for the time, energy, and passion you put into us and our mission to harness young people’s political power to build a Colorado for all. You taught us SO much and we are ready to carry your legacy. 4/4

⭐ partnering with staff to unionize for the first time and bargained not one but TWO contracts ⭐ transforming New Era into a year-round, statewide power-building organization ⭐ creating two new political entities to endorse and elect Youth Agenda Champions 3/4

⭐ overseeing a statewide Youth Agenda listening tour to create a policy platform based on the issues that young people care about ⭐ working to ensure we live out our anti-racist values and create spaces for consistent learning, healing, and examining our practices 2/4

Tomorrow we say farewell to Nicole as New Era Colorado’s executive director. Since 2019, Nicole has led us through huge changes, a pandemic, and healing. We couldn’t possibly fit all of her accomplishments in one caption, but here are some highlights: 1/4

I’m so incredibly humbled and excited for this opportunity!

We are SO excited to share about our “new era” for youth power: Executive Director Nicole Hensel is passing the torch to Christina Soliz! @christinasoliz.bsky.social joined us as Deputy Director in 2023 and launched our endorsement program, led us through a base-building transformation, and . . .

It only seems fitting that our first post coincides with the first day of Colorado’s legislative session. We’ve got our eyes (and brains lol) set on economic justice. Follow us and @neweracoloradoaf.bsky.social as we migrate over here!
