Today, the Colorado legislature begins their 2026 legislative session. Our communities need representatives who will fight for what they need. When our elected officials recognize that and work alongside their constituents, we can build solutions that work for everyone, no exceptions.

Last month, UNE members introduced themselves to the newly elected members of Commerce City Council at a public meet and greet. By building relationships with the city council and the mayor in Commerce City, these members continue to work towards a better future for the city that they call home.

UNE stands with our partners in the Colorado Workers’ Rights United coalition who are joining together to pass the Worker Protection Act. We cannot let corporate interests decide the future of our communities. When Colorado workers win, we all win.  #Colorado #WorkerProtectionAct #UnionStrong

Remembering that we still have to live under a backwards tax system like TABOR that lets the rich hoard their wealth and keep our communities down is always a bummer. But that doesn't mean we're going to give up. We'll keep fighting to take down TABOR and fully fund our communities so we can thrive.

Corporate landlords and developers love to tell us that rents are falling and that now is the perfect time to start renting. But what they're really selling us is discounts and fancy numbers that get around the real story: a few dollars off an unaffordable rent is still unaffordable. 🧵 (1/4)

When we're together and we fight with the people's voice, we're powerful. That's why we're organizing and centering the voices of our most directly impacted grassroots members to address systemic oppression at the root cause. Listen to UNE member Don explain why our work is so important today.

A lot has changed in 2025. We held public actions, fought for renter protections at the state legislature, and had hundreds of conversations with real voters about our tax system. December us can't wait for 2026. Learn more about our work at https://unecolorado.org/join/

Our social media guy is out so please like this post. Community power! Building a better future! Safe, stable, and affordable housing for everyone! Systems that work for real people, not billionaires and corporations!

When our communities organize together and build power, there's nothing we can't do. Together, we can take on greedy corporations and billionaires to build a better future, one where all of us have the ability to live and thrive. #organizing #community #colorado

When we envision the future our communities, we see housing next to parks, playgrounds, public transportation, schools, community health centers, and more. In our ideal future, all of us have what we need to not just live, but really thrive. What does your ideal community look like?

This week and every week, we want to make sure we're holding space for all of the most important things for our communities. That especially means renter protections, corporate landlord accountability, and safe, stable, and affordable housing.

Over the last few months, UNE members in Westminster have been pushing for more renter protections. A few weeks ago, the city bulked up their rental housing inspection program. When our communities show up and make their voices heard, we can make real change. Read more at https://bit.ly/4qVrWWo

It's pretty spooky to see. And it's even scarier when it's happening in real life. Greedy corporate landlords are keeping our communities from having safe, stable, and affordable housing. But when renters build power alongside their communities, we can create thriving, healthy places to live. 👻🎃

When we vote, we show our strength. When we vote, we can make our communities what we need them to be. Let’s join together and make our voices count. Don't forget to turn in your ballot before 7 pm on Election Day (November 4th) and track it using https://colorado.ballottrax.net

When we build people power and organize renters and homeowners, parents and grandparents, and communities of all kinds, we can create real change in our communities. #colorado #organizing #community

This Saturday, we stood with the community members and leaders in the thousands that attended No Kings rallies across our state. When our communities stand up against systems that aren't working for them and call out greedy billionaires and corporations, we put power into the hands of the people.

That's right. TABOR is a tool used by billionaires to rob our state of services and programs that our communities need. Even if we save a few dollars, millionaires are saving way more, and our roads, schools, and parks are suffering. Don't let billionaires and corporations keep tricking you.

Adams County needs our help! Through the county's Housing Needs Assessment, our communities can have a say in housing priorities and help build safe, stable, and affordable communities. Head to https://engageadams.adcogov.org/r11366 to let Adams County know what to prioritize.

We held a public action in Westminster where renters made demands of their corporate landlord, Inspire, and invited them to respond. They didn't show up. Our communities and renters need open communication and safe, stable, and affordable homes.

We know there's a lot going on, and sometimes it's easier to just doomscroll. But we really want to know what's going on in YOUR life. That's right, you. Take 3 minutes to share the issues that impact your life at https://bit.ly/3UNbMzC today.

Last week, UNE members flew to Washington, DC to tell their stories and push back against the life-threatening federal budget cuts. 14 members from across the country were arrested while demanding no cuts to critical housing programs. If they try to cut us out of the budget, we will disrupt them.

Listen as UNE member and small landlord Bev talks about her responsibility as a landlord and the importance of renters protections. When renters and small landlords work hand in hand, we can create communities that value each of us, instead of a world where corporate profit is the only priority.

Earlier this week, UNE members joined @popdemoc.bsky.social in DC. While there, members met with representatives from Colorado, told their stories, and made clear what drastic cuts to housing programs would mean for their communities.

They want: 🚫 411k families evicted 🚫 Elders in unsafe homes 🚫 Disabled folks pushed into the militarized streets All to line billionaire landlord wallets + fund ICE and private prisons Join us to say NO TO HOUSING CUTS! #StopCutsToHousing #StopCutsToHUD

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Check out the Westminster Window's newest article all about UNE members' display of force last week where they made demands of city leaders and the greedy corporate landlords of Westminster. Read more at https://bit.ly/4ncDgvj

Yesterday, UNE leaders and members joined neighbors and allies to shed light on the unsafe living conditions in rental housing in Westminster and the lack of sufficient enforcement mechanisms at the city level. When our communities stand together, we put our people power on full display.

When we deep canvass, we're building a multiracial voting base to help build a better future for our families and our communities. Head to https://unecolorado.org/our-work/deep-canvassing/ to join us on September 20th.

📢 Community Resource Westminster renters, this is YOUR chance to take action! Join @unecolorado.bsky.social on Sept. 3, 6 to 7:30 pm at The MAC. Come together, hear from City Council, and demand corporate landlords fix rent + living conditions. 📌 More details here: bit.ly/UNE-RentersT...

We know there’s a lot happening that affects our health, safety, and housing — not only in Colorado, but across the nation. UNE is part of a national movement working to ensure our Colorado federal delegation TRULY represents us.  Head to https://bit.ly/3UNbMzC today to make your voice heard.

A few things about us: 1. We love love.  2. We love fully funded communities, people power, and elected officials that truly represent us.  3. We DON'T love when greedy corporations put profits over people and tear our communities apart.

Right now, our state legislators are meeting for a special session. For UNE member Erika, this is an opportunity for our state government to do something about the rent-setting algorithms corporate landlords are using to hike up her rent at astronomical levels.

Race, place, and wealth are being manipulated to divide our communities here in Colorado. Together, our communities are more powerful than their divisive tactics. Head to https://unecolorado.org/join today to stay up to date with our work.

We're not going to stop telling the stories of powerful renters and talking about the importance of renter protections and keeping greedy corporate landlords in check. And we won't stop sending our friends all our videos, either.

Right now, our legislators are heading into a special legislative session where they will have to cut an additional $1.2 billion because of the deficit created by the cruel federal budget. And what do we get in return? Tax cuts for the top 0.1%.

Billionaires and corporations love to avoid paying their fair share of taxes, hoarding wealth while the rest of us struggle every day. When everyone pays their fair share, we all get well-funded schools, clean roads, and truly affordable housing. #colorado #copolitics #rent #landlords #coleg #taxes

Listen as UNE Executive Director Carmen Medrano explains our current fight and the importance of organizing for a better tomorrow. When our communities work together, no billionaire can buy that kind of power. #colorado #community #copolitics #rent #landlords #coleg #bigbeautifulbill
