We focus on the fiscal and economic implications of policy affecting working families and how public resources are allocated to meet public needs.

Shaping Colorado’s Future Through Legislative Action

Tax policy serves as a powerful tool for equity. It can either fuel economic opportunity for everyone, or it can end up holding us back.

The laws passed in the Colorado General Assembly should reflect the values of opportunity, equity, and shared prosperity. Through strategic advocacy, research, and coalition partnerships, we work to shape policies that prioritize working families, promote economic opportunity, and address systemic inequities.

We advocate for responsible tax and budget policies that check growing income and racial inequality, that enhance transparency and accountability of government, and that support broad economic opportunity and prosperity.

In the meantime, read our most recent report on the economic benefit of unions. We review available research, the impact of state laws like Colorado’s that limit workers’ freedom to bargain, and the potential economic benefits of modernizing Colorado’s labor laws to remove unnecessary obstacles to unionization and restore workers’ freedom to bargain.
