There is nothing more powerful than workers who refuse to be divided. LGBTQIA+ rights are workers' rights. Happy #PrideMonth!

TODAY is the last day to vote for Luke Stanley for the PERA Trustee Board! Make sure to download the app and submit your vote now! https://copera.org/pera-mobile-app

BREAKING: Governor Polis has vetoed the Worker Protection Act for the second time in two years. Polis continues his generationally rancid end to his term in office by once again choosing the billionaire class over the working people of Colorado.

State workers are an investment, not a line item to cut when leadership fails.

We're supporting Luke Stanley for the PERA Trustee Board. We need state workers we can trust at the table to make informed decisions about our retirement benefits! If you haven't already voted, download the app today and cast your vote before May 31! https://copera.org/pera-mobile-app

This Memorial Day, we honor all Colorado state employees who devoted their lives to public service. We thank you.

GIT'ing it done in Grand Junction! This past weekend we were in Grand Junction collecting petition signatures to get a Graduated Income Tax on the ballot this Nov. GIT will help replenish our state budget and fund our Partnership Agreement! @protectcofuture.bsky.social

True or false: Everybody in Colorado -- regardless of whether you're a recent graduate, small business, or millionaire -- gets taxed the same rate.

‼️ RAPID response ‼️ Gov Polis has just announced he is commuting Tina Peter’s sentence! MEET at 4:30 in Pueblo at the corner of 17th St and Hood St. to make your voice heard that WE DON'T AGREE with this decision! 4:30! See you there!

BIG win! Bill SB26-193 passed so state employees' minimum wage goes up from $16.55 to $19.29 an hour! At a time when costs are up on everything we need to just get to work–like gas and food–this is big! Now we're advocating it be extended to cover our non-classified co-workers!

Why join COWINS? We represent you! In May 2025, we stood by union steward Clint Dunlap who requested a union representative to attend the Region 3 Roadeo in Craig to meet with fellow CDOT workers about the benefits of joining our union. /1

Yes, give your mom flowers and a delicious meal. AND let's make sure moms, caregivers, and parents have the means to enjoy our beautiful state by strengthening our union for state workers. #mothersday

Let's take a moment to celebrate one of our DOC stewards, Dana Mueller! Dana was awarded the 2025 Excellence in Corrections at this year's One Voice United Medal of Honor Ceremony! #nationalcorrectionalofficersweek #nationalpublicserviceworkersweek

We work hard our entire lives to hopefully enjoy a retirement. This is why it's important to elect real workers like Luke Stanley to the PERA Board of Trustees: for transparency and stronger communciation. Login to your Secure Pera account and vote now: https://copera.org/pera-mobile-app

This decision is an attack on Black voters & on the promise of equal representation. It is a deliberate attempt to weaken our power because when we vote together, we change outcomes! Courts do not have the final word, people do. Our vote matters, our voices matter—we will organize, mobilize, & win.

We support candidates who choose working people over corporations. That is why we're endorsing @mannyrutinel.bsky.social for CD8. Manny has pledged to defend public services, choose workers over corporations, and to take direct action to block the corporate agenda.

@cowinsunion.bsky.social is the statewide #union representing state classified employees and higher ed employees in #Colorado. If you're a Colorado state employee, this is your union. Learn more at: zurl.co/hkmu8

Yesterday for #EarthDay, our CDPHE members led an effort to clean up the Cherry Creek River! 🌎 Among what we found: - Ton of plastic - A couch cushion - A cashless cash register We love our beautiful state and keeping it clean!

We're excited to announce our next round of endorsements of labor champions who will stand with and for the people, not billionaires and the ultra-wealthy! coloradowins.org/endorsements For state senate, we're endorsing @chelaforcolorado.bsky.social for SD 34!

Hi new followers! We're Colorado WINS and we represent the 27,000 workers who make our state run. We know that winning better working conditions for state employees means we can provide better services for all Coloradans! This is who we are #unionstrong

Today we celebrate another WIN! With the Mortgage POST Officers First Responders bill (SB26-053), Correctional Officers and First Responders are one step closer to becoming homeowners. When COWINS members lobby, we win!

HUGE WIN! Security officers at Fort Logan Medical Clinic are now getting their $150 uniform stipend. This is the power of unions: we WIN MORE across the board for EVERYBODY!

A Graduated Income Tax in Colorado means everyone except the top 3% would pay less taxes AND we'd raise $2 billion for child care, education, and healthcare, making it easier to fund our contract and the services we provide. This #TaxDay, let's GIT GIT on the ballot! @protectcofuture.bsky.social

Overworked and understaffed. That's how DOC's staffing crisis can be summed up in two words. Our union stewards Michael and Devon testified in support of SB26-159 and SB26-036--both could help fix DOC's capacity and staffing crisis. #coleg

Private prisons aren't the answer: we need a comprehensive plan that will fix the staffing crisis and make prisons safer for everyone. https://coloradosun.com/2026/04/13/jared-polis-colorado-prisons-budget/

The state's $1.5 billion deficit won't stop us from building power so we can win for all Coloradans. Here's how.

Workers everywhere deserve respect, basic humanity, and safe working conditions. It's the bottom line. Solidarity to our union siblings at JBS! www.denver7.com/news/front-r...

Congrats to the Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas in Greeley, Colorado on winning their union! Solidarity with all of our @sbworkersunited.org union siblings as they keep organizing and mobilizing for their first union contract. When we fight, we win!

Lobby Day is one of our most important days at COWINS. Speaking with legislators face-to-face is how we stave off the worst cuts to our Partnership Agreement. Hear how important Lobby Day can be from some of our first-time members! #seiucolobbyday #cowinslobbyday

We are in solidarity with survivors. To continue building our collective power in the labor movement, we must uplift and support survivors, no matter who the perpetrators are.

This past weekend we made history! #NoKings NO to skyrocketing prices and political grifting. YES to accountability and unions for all!

TOMORROW: Join us to make history and say YES to unions for all, fair elections, and accountability. #NoKings

.@kennynguyen.bsky.social is a labor champion for refusing to be a One Main Street candidate. We urge candidates to join in on this call & demand dark money organizations release their donor list! https://coloradowins.org/we-say-no-to-dark-money-in-politics-and-yes-to-candidates-who-agree/

Colorado DHS workers are in the final stretch of contract negotiations. Let's show we care by shouting out our support for these workers and sharing this post!

It's official, COWINS has surpassed 8,000 members! If you're a state worker and haven't joined yet, remember there's power in numbers. The more members, the stronger we are at the bargaining table and at the legislature! coloradowins.org/join/

We stand with all survivors, and double down on our commitment to believing them and to holding perpetrators accountable, whether it be a leader in our own movement, or the president of our nation.

Join us to say YES to fair elections, upholding the rule of law, Epstein accountability, fairness for workers & protecting public services. 3 simple ways to show up for #NoKings3, COWINS: secure.ngpvan.com/Brzsa5G9D06l...

It's been a busy couple of days at the state capitol for our state workers! Yesterday we joined @protectcofuture.bsky.social to "GIT" a Graduated Income Tax on the ballot this Nov!

Colorado's health care, education, child care, and state services need more funding. A Graduated Income Tax (GIT) would help by raising taxes on Colorado's top 3%! Join us tomorrow to "GIT" this on the ballot!

It's time for Colorado's top 3% paid their fair share. Join us for a rally to get a Graduated Income Tax (GIT) on the ballot this November! 📌 Tuesday, 3/17 from 12-1 on the west steps of the Capitol secure.ngpvan.com/5dpOAqC1m0up...

🔥 WEATHER ADVISORY: Front Range under fire watch. Our union members are among those containing fires and keeping Coloradans safe. That's why we'll be at the State Capitol next week-to urge legislators to keep state services strong. Do you support strong state services?

Happy #WomensHistoryMonth where we're highlighting the bad ass women who make our union fiercer. Kaori Keyser is a CDOT engineer who makes our roads and highways safer for all Coloradans AND makes state workers' lives better as a COWINS steward and board member!
