Democracy Wire

Whether we're concerned about federal, state, county or municipal districts, it's important that we all show up to represent our respective communities at the public redistricting hearings to be held across the state over the coming months.

Colorado's independent redistricting commission is accepting applications, and there's a lot of ways to get involved!

Beginning this week, in honor of June 17th’s Census Day of Action, get out the count cards will appear in dispensaries and businesses throughout the state. The census is used to allocate public funding for investments that grow the economy, including schools, roads, and workforce development, among many others.

Coronavirus has unabashedly exposed many flaws in our system and highlights the need for community resources, and in hard-to-count communities just like any other, we need to fight for funding for our hospitals and school system.

Everyday Colorado Common Cause and our national organization in Washington, DC work to build a democracy that is fair and equitable for everyone. There are few days when that synergy between the national movement and local strategy is as evident as it was on March 26, 2019.
