We're new here, but have been fighting for economic mobility in Colorado for 25 years. www.bellpolicy.org
Older Coloradans are a growing part of our workforce, but unfortunately their needs are often overlooked by systems and policies. The Bell has worked with advocates, Colorado Reps. Jenny Willford and Jamie Jackson, and @jessiedanielson.co to create a bill to better support them. bit.ly/3ObTnw9

Colorado needs a graduated income tax because we can’t rely on Washington anymore (Opinion)
Colorado cannot remain dependent on the federal government to support the child care needs of Colorado families.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

U.S. billionaires got an astounding $1.5 TRILLION richer in the first year of Trump's second term.
Remember — this is happening as they get even more tax cuts in exchange for the social safety net being cut for everyone else.

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison corporations making bank off his deportation agenda.
Trump has unleashed billions of dollars worth of funding for these companies while offering them "no-bid" contracts.
Cashing in on cruelty.

From 2018 to 2024, the tax rate paid by eight major retailers was slashed from 30% to just 17.5%.
The CEOs of those major retailers were paid a collective $1.3 billion.
Meanwhile, the average worker at those stores was paid less than $32,000 in 2024.
Nothing trickled down.
