We all depend on each other. And change depends on us.
We must take action to make Colorado the best place to raise a family.
Our Issues
Move Colorado Forward, a Gary Advocacy policy venture, is building a statewide movement — bringing together parents, workers, business leaders, and community members — to advance practical, lasting policy solutions that make Colorado the best place to raise a family. We organize, build coalitions and advance policies that:
- Help families afford to live and stay in Colorado
- Expand access to quality, affordable child care
- Create long-term economic stability for families
From child care and housing to good jobs and saving for the future, the issues families face are connected.
How We Create Change
We use four strategies to champion change in Colorado.
- We organize
- We change the story
- We create powerful communities
- We engage voters
