Colorado is considering a special session to deal with the wreckage created by Congress. Filling the giant hole they created is incredibly difficult in Colorado, which is hamstrung by TABOR's constitutional spending restrictions. There are only bad choices. #copolitics #coleg bit.ly/4lngMXs

Seems like a pretty good reason to ask our leaders for fairer taxes, huh? bit.ly/reformTABOR

🚨TAKE ACTION FOR FAIR TAXES 🚨 It’s about damn time the wealthy pay what they owe in taxes – but in order for the top 1% to pay more than us, we have to reform our tax code (aka TABOR). Tell your legislators we won’t back down until the ban is repealed! bit.ly/reformTABOR

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!

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

Great blog post on New Era! Stand up and be counted - in every race, in every election. Every vote matters!

Yeahhhh, that actually happened in @stephvigil.bsky.social’s state house race. Proof that EVERY. VOTE. MATTERS. Check out our blog: neweracoloradoaction.org/how-losing-b...

The work our Real Advocates do at the Capitol isn’t all fun and games (though we do get a little silly while we’re waiting for votes). Read our new blog post to learn how our 2025 work will build off of last year’s state and local wins! neweracoloradoaction.org/state-and-lo...

Yayyyyyyyyyy Christina! This woman protects us (and our capacity) like no other. Give her a warm welcome as our soon-to-be executive director!

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!
