Move Colorado Forward, a partner of Gary Advocacy, engages Coloradans to support policies that will make our state the best place to raise a family. We are committed to long-term organizing that supports lasting change across communities for kids and families.
WE USE FOUR MAIN STRATEGIES TO CHAMPION CHANGE IN COLORADO.
We organize: We organize child care workers and housing advocates to solve our toughest cost of living challenges in Colorado. Every Colorado family should have access to affordable child care and a safe place to call home.
- Sign our child care pledge to join the movement for affordable and accessible child care in Colorado
- Sign our affordable housing pledge to ensure Colorado families can afford to live in Colorado
We change the story: We leverage the power of stories to inform public opinion about child care and housing affordability in Colorado. We lift up stories of impacted Coloradans through media, culture, and movement organizing.
