    I'm proud to support 's senate bid & urge EVERYONE to do whatever they can to help her in her race. She led the fight to let cities raise the minimum wage. We must support progressives who will fight for workers & challenge corporate power.

    Labor Day is the day that kicks off the final stretch of the general election. Let’s commit ourselves to electing legislators who will PROUDLY stand up for unions and workers’ rights. I’ll be that kind of legislator here in Colorado.
    Why we need unions? 40 percent of American families struggled to meet at least one of their basic needs last year, including paying for food, health care, housing or utilities

    This is good news -- and totally justified. In an age of crushing economic inequality, more and more people know that unions help raise wages and protect workers. As a legislator, I'll fight to make sure workers' union rights are strengthened.
    A new Gallup poll finds that Americans’ support for labor unions continues to remain high at 62 percent approval — the highest since 2003!

    The fight for workers’ union rights is a fight to raise wages for ALL workers. In a country ravaged by economic inequality, strengthening protections for workers must be a priority. It will be one of mine in the Colorado legislature.

    Five Colorado news outlets covered the COGA summit yesterday: , , , , & Five stories. 4,842 words. Ten different people quoted. Zero mentions of climate change. Zero.
    When you read Colorado media coverage of politics, there are oil execs & politicians but theres one thing usually missing from the story: climate change. If all you read was this state’s political media, youd have no idea what climate change is or that it’s happening.
