LGBT Coloradans and our families know how important elections are -- and we've seen firsthand the difference a pro-equality majority can make. In 2012, we watched our state legislature shut down over civil unions, simply because opponents of equality wanted to use our families as a political football.
But after that painful defeat two years ago, we stepped up. With your support, One Colorado talked to tens of thousands of voters on the phone and at their doors -- and together, we elected a fair-minded majority. Since then, we’ve made significant progress. We passed civil unions and stronger workplace protections for our families, repealed Colorado’s own version of the anti-immigrant “show me your papers” law, and expanded access to health care for LGBT Coloradans.
Still, as we head into the 2014 election, we know our work isn’t done. Our goal is full equality for all Coloradans. Click here to see which pro-equality candidates have pledged to stand up for our families at the Capitol, and help us ensure they win in November.
Our list of state legislative endorsements includes 47 leaders -- Democrats and Republicans -- who will work to advance a fair and just Colorado alongside Governor Hickenlooper and Attorney General candidate Don Quick, who we endorsed last month. Their support and their advocacy will be vital to our success, so we need your help to get the message out and make sure they come out on top!
In 2012, some of our endorsed candidates won their race by less than a 100-vote margin -- that's razor-thin. We can't leave anything to chance, so click here to find out how you can help elect a pro-equality majority on November 4th!
Remember: we're not at the finish line yet. It's going to take allies at the Capitol and at the state level to finish the job. Over the weeks remaining until Election Day, we're going to be in a full-on sprint -- can we count on you to have our back?
