Found this in my mailbox at the Capitol today. It made me smile.

Today is Election Day! Only 1 in 4 voters locally had voted as of last night. Democracy is not a spectator sport. Please fill in your ballot and make sure it is received by 7pm tonight. Here's my voter guide again in case you find it helpful: cathykipp.com/index.php/20...

So little time, so many great signs, but I laughed out loud when I saw this one at the Fort Collins No Kings event today - delivered by a great messenger. #NoKings #IndivisibleNoCo

See you on Saturday? Help fight authoritarianism. I'll be at the Fort Collins event. Nokings.org

This article gives a good overview of how the big, bad, billionaire's bill Trump signed into law on July 4th immediately caused our balanced state budget to be $1.2 billion in deficit. We will convene this Thursday, to begin dealing with this huge, gaping hole. coloradosun.com/2025/08/14/c...

Please reach out to your member of Congress and ask them to oppose the "we're all gonna die bill". If passed this bill will have devestating impacts on our neediest Coloradans. This is not how a civilized society should treat our most vulnerable members. Thank you!

Got to spend time today with the workers at two of our local Safeway stores in Fort Collins as they spent their first day on the picket line. Low pay and inadequate hours - it says something when 100% of the workers at both stores voted to approve the strike. Safeway can do better for their workers.

Thanks to everyone who came out for the @indivisiblenoco.com No Kings protest in Fort Collins and the other 2,000-ish marches around the countr this weekend!!! Amazing turnout!!! #NoKings

Since the takeover of the US by the Trump regime, the most common question I get asked by people I represent is what can we do? How can we push back? I continue to refer everyone to Indivisible NOCO. Join us tomorrow for the NO KINGS protest. mobilize.us/s/upou8o

As sponsors of SB25-077 Modifications to the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA), after careful consideration we have decided not to pursue a veto override vote.

I joined @civilrightsorg, @NAACP, & 240+ state lawmakers who reject any agenda that relinquishes federal responsibility, undermines equity, or weakens the critical role of the Department of Education. Our students deserve more support, not less! Read our letter: bit.ly/3RFxyDI

#HandsOff our Democracy rally, Fort Collins, Colorado. "The Power of the People is more Important than the Peopl in Power." US Senator Cory Booker, 2025. And the people are mad!

34,000 Coloradans were in Denver tonight to hear Bernie Sanders and AOC (including me). And over 11,000 showed up in Greeley. Thanks to everyone who showed up. It is how we will answer when people ask us what we did to stop the illegal and unconstitutional actions of this administration.

I stand with Ukraine and democracy and against oligarchies and dictatorships.

This is what democracy looks like. Today at our Colorado State Capitol and at State Capitol across the US, people came together to push back against the illegal and unconstitutional orders of the new administration. Thank you to everyone who came!

If you see ICE activity in Colorado...

Hope you can join us for our first town hall of the 2025 legislative session!
