Earlier this week, Rep. Espenoza voted against two of the most important immigrant rights bills of the 2026 legislative session, HB26-1275 and HB26-1276. Join us in calling on Rep. Espenoza to hold a town hall to answer to her constituents directly: actionnetwork.org/letters/rep-...

As long as Key Lime Air works with ICE, CU should not work with them. Tell the CU Board of Regents to cut ties with Key Lime Air: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

How you show up matters, not just when things are easy, but especially when things are hard. I've spent my career walking picket lines, organizing tenants + teachers, and listening to working people across Colorado. That's what you do when you actually want to earn people's trust.

If Shannon Bird won’t show up for the voters of Congressional District 8, why should they show up for her?

Correction: Applications are due April 5th!

Caucuses are THIS week! Who shows up can decide which candidates make the ballot. So, if you’re a registered Democrat, it’s critically important that you get out and caucus in support of progressive candidates. Find your county's caucus details here: www.coloradodems.org/caucus/sched...

This week, we learned that senior Garfield County law enforcement officials used degrading language about Rep. Velasco in official government emails, including mocking her for holding a protest sign and belittling community members who were simply seeking accurate info about reported ICE activity.

Yesterday, Working Families Power co-hosted a town hall with candidates for Congressional District 8. Despite choosing not to participate, Shannon Bird sure did have a lot to say.... Here's the WFPower response:

A judge has ruled that Colorado cannot force prisoners to work. The ruling states that the Colorado Department of Corrections and Governor Jared Polis violated the state's constitution by coercing prisoners to work. www.denver7.com/news/state-n...

Bye! denverite.com/2026/02/17/p...

This campaign is powered by working people. Grateful for the endorsement from the @workingfamiliesco.bsky.social as we continue building a movement to lower costs, challenge corporate power, and protect our freedoms.

Our first 2026 primary endorsements are here. These early endorsements lift up proven WFP champions and candidates stepping into defining races where the choice is clear: corporate power or working people. More to come, we're just getting started!

Proud to be endorsed by the @workingfamiliesco.bsky.social in my race for Colorado House District 6. This campaign is about centering people power and not corporate power at the State House. Together we can do this. iris4colorado.org.

At a moment when people are demanding ICE out and accountability for federal violence, Sen. Hickenlooper voted to send *more* money to the agencies terrorizing our communities. Congress should not give one more dime to ICE or DHS. Call Sen. Hickenlooper today: 303-244-1628

We are beyond shocked by today’s reporting that oil and gas corporations are attempting to infiltrate Democratic primaries in Colorado. This is corporate corruption at its most blatant: polluters hiding behind front groups to manipulate our elections after voters repeatedly rejected their agenda.

As a result of Regent Rennison's vote, Democrats may no longer control the CU Board of Regents. But, we the people remain united against MAGA's repellant vision for higher ed, and we will continue to use every tool at our disposal to resist it. Here's our full statement on this morning's vote:

Leadership isn't just a title, it’s a responsibility. This is the moment to hold the line, not hand more power to MAGA Republicans. www.denverpost.com/2026/01/13/c...

Public opinion could not be more clear: people want Democratic leaders who fight for our communities, not ones who hand more power to Republicans behind closed doors. Send a letter to the Democratic members of the board to ensure they hold the line on Jan. 15th: actionnetwork.org/letters/cu-r...

COWFP State Director, Wynn Howell, in response to the Opportunity Caucus’ filing with the Independent Ethics Commission yesterday (1/8/26):

Let's talk.

Standing up to the DOJ to protect voter data? That’s the Colorado way. Thank you, Sec. of State Griswold. Handing state data to ICE? That’s not. Gov. Polis, do better. www.denverpost.com/2025/12/11/j...

We don’t run on corporate money, we run on people. From Fort Collins to Pueblo, our members make this movement possible. Consider becoming a dues-paying member today to power our work in 2026! secure.actblue.com/donate/wfppa...

This is what people-powered leadership looks like. Newly elected Longmont councilmembers listened to the community and took action to stop Flock data sharing. Mayor Johnston in Denver should be taking note…. yellowscene.com/2025/12/10/l...

THIS WEEK: join our last mass call of 2025. We'll be talking wins and plans for next year — a hugely consequential year for rebalancing power towards working people. We will hear from WFP-endorsed congressional candidates which is fun and cool Sign up: wfpus.org/WFPmasscall

Candidates: Endorsement applications for the 2026 Primary are officially open! See below for details and how to apply.

If we want a democracy that works for all of us, we have to call out corporate power wherever it shows up, including in Colorado’s Capitol.

This Vail “retreat” wasn’t a harmless getaway -- it was a reminder of how corporate interests sidestep our laws and our values -- in Colorado and in Washington D.C. coloradosun.com/2025/11/18/c...

Today, the Independent Ethics Commission unanimously voted to begin investigations into ethics complaints filed against state lawmakers in the "Colorado Opportunity Caucus". Our State Director, Wynn Howell, on the Democratic Party's response to that decision:

Working people need stability and dignity, not wage cuts. Tell Boulder County Commissioners: stand with workers. tinyurl.com/SaveBoulderMinimumWage And if you can, join us to testify on Thursday (11/20): tinyurl.com/SaveTheWageS...

People are tired of leaders who are disconnected from what working people face every single day. Across the Front Range, and across the country, we're showing what’s possible when working people come together and organize. www.axios.com/local/denver...

No corporate sponsors. No luxury retreats. Just real leaders doing the work with our communities. Come out tomorrow to support two of the legislators fighting corporate corruption and building a government that works for working people!

If you’re in Pueblo, show your support tonight!

This is a good time to join the WFP @workingfamilies.org I'm a broken record and if they ain't going to learn they need to learn by us not cooperating with their party anymore and building a political force that is so big that can hold different tenants but still have values.

Big thanks to the watchdogs for shining a light on the lawmakers accepting luxury junkets from groups tied to corporate lobbyists. This is corruption, plain and simple. It erodes public trust, betrays working people, and has no place in our state government. www.denverpost.com/2025/11/05/c...
