“A hate-inspired group?” As Colorado’s largest online progressive advocacy organization, we at ProgressNow Colorado get a lot of requests from progressive activists and grassroots groups for assistance with organizing and promoting events. With an up-to-date press list and tools for broadcasting press releases and news alerts (like this one) to thousands of people with one […]
As Ernest Luning reports for the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman, there is a legal challenge underway that could knock incumbent Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn off of the June Primary ballot if successful: A lawsuit filed Tuesday by five Republican voters is asking a judge to remove U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn from the 5th Congressional […]
This weekend, Donald Trump made a liar of Rep. Mike Coffman. Again. Last fall, Rep. Coffman claimed that Donald Trump is “the only one” who can fix the nation’s broken immigration system. That’s not a misprint. Even though Coffman pretends to have moderation on immigration in recent years, statements like this make it clear Coffman […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) A Colorado lawmaker says she can “no longer be silent” about “so many good young people” who “can’t even see reason” and “don’t understand” what they are marching about. State Rep. Judy Reyher (R-Swink) made the comments on Facebook, where she wondered why protesters aren’t concerned about scissors, forks, steak knives, […]
Colorado’s experience with the modern tragedy of mass shootings is among the worst in all of America. Two of the most horrific mass shootings in history, the 1999 Columbine High School massacre and the 2012 mass shooting at the Century Theater in Aurora, are not just news events. They happened here. The victims are buried […]
The kids are not alright. They are, however, right on. Last Wednesday, thousands of high school students across Colorado—and across America—walked out of class to protest the lack of action to stop mass shootings like the one in Parkland, Florida last month. Despite the ever-growing toll from mass shootings in the United States, once again […]
Last Friday, the Colorado House of Representatives did something incredible. They expelled a sitting lawmaker for the first time in 103 years. [1] For years, a culture of sexual harassment without accountability flourished at the Colorado Capitol. Women who work there banded together to warn each other about who to never be caught alone with. […]
AP via the Washington Post summarizes yesterday’s all-day drama on the floor of the Colorado House, which ended with an outcome few expected as the House gaveled in on Friday morning: the first expulsion of a sitting Colorado lawmaker in 103 years: Democratic Rep. Steve Lebsock wasn’t present when Democrats and Republicans voted 52-9 Friday […]
Last week, we sounded the alarm on three important events: a town hall with NRA favorite Rep. Mike Coffman, and action in the Colorado legislature on gun safety laws and protecting women’s abortion rights. Each time, you showed up. And you made a huge difference. Mike Coffman was once again besieged by constituents at his […]
As bloggers who focus on Colorado politics, it shouldn’t be a surprise that we spent a fair amount of time running searches on the Colorado Secretary of State’s TRACER campaign finance disclosure website. Recently, with the National Rifle Association’s controlling influence in Republican politics under the spotlight, we’ve naturally looked at the NRA’s funding of […]
It’s a short but very busy week for the resistance in Colorado. Let’s get right to it. Tonight, Rep. Mike Coffman is holding a town hall meeting at Cherry Creek High School in Greenwood Village. After Republicans in Washington once again failed to pass immigration reform last week, Coffman has a lot to answer for. […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Republican Congressman Mike Coffman grabbed headlines back in September for promising to try to force Republican leaders in the U.S. House to vote on his bill, called the BRIDGE Act, allowing Dreamers to remain in the U.S. for two more years, while Congress works out a permanent solution. But just three days later, […]
This week marks a very important anniversary. The 25th, in fact. In 1993, then-President Bill Clinton signed the Family Medical Leave Act into law. Since then, American workers have used the protections in the FMLA some 200 million times to take time off from work to care for themselves and their family without worrying about […]
Congressman Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) responded today to the controversial public release of the Nunes memo with a statement that seems to forget what Mike Coffman said himself about a year ago. First, today’s Tweet: As one of the first Members of Congress to call for an independent counsel, I’ve always been about accountability and full transparency and […]
The 2018 session of the Colorado legislature is underway right now! And unlike the gridlock and finger-pointing in Washington, there’s hope of actually getting some good things accomplished at the state level this year. The Colorado House’s top priority this year is called FAMLI: the Family Medical Leave Insurance Program. Almost everyone at some point […]
For weeks leading up to this past Saturday, the pundits crowed about the second Women’s March. There’s no way it would be anywhere near as big as last year’s, they said. The resistance is petering out, they said. Tax cuts for the wealthy bought off America, they said. They were wrong. An estimated 150,000 people […]
Holding the powerful accountable and fighting for the rights of everyone is not always the easy choice. Here in Denver, a city considered progressive and innovative by so many yardsticks, there’s a conflict brewing between new growth occurring in the urban core of the city and the communities that thrived here for decades before it […]
After almost a year of Trump in the White House, the resistance is shifting: not away from Trump, but toward every conservative politician who helped elected him and has enabled his disastrous first year as President of the United States. We’ve proven successful at slowing down Trump’s agenda, and stopping much of it in its […]
Over the weekend, we promoted to the homepage a reader diary on a protest event we were actually unaware of before it occurred on New Year’s Eve: a trip by a group of activists with disabilities from Atlantis ADAPT, the storied grassroots team who has been fighting since the 1980s in Denver for better accommodations […]
The moment Donald Trump declared victory in the 2016 elections, we knew that 2017 would be one of the most ugly and painful years in American history. Elections matter. The choices we make for who to represent us in Denver and in Washington, D.C. have real-world consequences. The wrong choice, as we learned throughout the […]
I wrote to Senator Gardner’s office recently expressing my displeasure with the tax bill just passed by the GOP-controlled Congress. I got his official response today, and reading between the lines, what I imagine he’s really thinking. Senator Gardner’s letter to constituents regarding the Tax Scam Bill (with annotations) Dear Davie, Thank you for contacting […]
UPDATE: USA TODAY’s editorial board shows ’em how it’s done: This isn’t about the policy differences we have with all presidents or our disappointment in some of their decisions. Obama and Bush both failed in many ways. They broke promises and told untruths, but the basic decency of each man was never in doubt. Donald […]
As we head into the holidays and the end of a very long year, I wanted to take a moment to say something once again that I’ve said each week as we’ve helped organize the resistance to Trump and the far right here in Colorado. Thank you. We say thanks so often it loses its […]
This weekend, the U.S. Senate voted to hurt millions of Americans. Most likely, you’re one of them. The so-called “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” isn’t about tax cuts or jobs for America’s middle class. Study after study has shown that the benefits of this legislation will overwhelmingly go to the richest 1% of Americans. Meanwhile, […]
Last week, shocking allegations of widespread sexual harassment in the Colorado state capitol broke. One lawmaker, Rep. Steve Lebsock, has been asked to resign by House leadership (and ProgressNow Colorado), and more elected officials could be implicated soon. It’s not about politics. No woman should feel unsafe in our state’s capitol, and no woman should […]
