We're new here, but have been fighting for economic mobility in Colorado for 25 years. www.bellpolicy.org
This data shared in Colorado’s revenue forecast Friday underscores what we’ve long been saying about state investments in early child care and elder care – when care is too expensive, women leave the workforce.

That impacts their economic security, and their family’s. We can do better. #copolitics

It's official 🥳 Income Tax Fairness is on the ballot! Colorado's tax system is broken. A nurse or teacher making $50K pays the same rate as a millionaire or giant corporation. Under Initiative 195, 97% of taxpayers get a tax cut, & no one under $500K pays a penny more. #copolitics

Don't buy what they're selling — which is a report full of wishful thinking about the graduated income tax and how they say it will interact with other measures on the ballot. It's not, as the legal folks say, severable in ways that suit their agenda.

What a day! The Protect Colorado's Future coalition submitted what we're now estimating as 163,000 valid signatures to get the graduated income tax on the ballot! Let's keep it rolling!

The Bell's Chris DeGruy Kennedy appeared on the Red County, Blue State pod to explain the graduated income tax question we're working to get on the November ballot. Spolier alert: If you make less than $500k, you'll get a tax cut. Check it out! esuyat.substack.com?utm_source=n...

Hey West Slope supporters! C'mon out to sign the petition to get the graduated income tax on the ballot. The GIT would cut taxes for those making less than $500k a year, raise them for those making more, and bring in $2 billion for child care, healthcare, and K-12. protectcoloradosfuture.com
