After a
search led by One Colorado’s Board of Directors, the organization announces that Daniel Ramos as the organization’s new
Executive Director.
Most
of you already know Daniel from the tremendous work he’s done at One
Colorado for the past five and a half years. Before being named One
Colorado's Executive Director, Daniel built their safe schools program,
served as Political Director, and – most recently – served as Deputy
Executive Director.
For Daniel, One Colorado's mission of building a fair and just Colorado is
personal. He grew up in the northern Colorado town of Sterling – later
graduating from the University of Colorado at Boulder and getting his
Masters of Public Administration at the University of Colorado School of
Public Affairs. Daniel knows how hard we have all worked together to
advance equality in our state, and knows our work is not yet finished.
From making sure every LGBTQ young person feels safe, welcome, and
empowered to make change in their school, to creating a state
that affirms the lives and experiences of transgender people, defeating
religious exemption proposals that would turn back our victories, and
addressing issues of immigration reform, homelessness, a living wage,
paid family leave, reproductive health, and voter disenfranchisement –
these are just some of the things we must do to make sure no part of our
community is left behind.
