As we wrap up 2019 — and what's been an incredible decade for our movement — I can’t help but reflect on the accomplishments of One Colorado over the last 9 years and how you've helped us become the state’s leading advocacy organization for LGBTQ Coloradans and their families. As One Colorado’s Executive Director, I am proud of the work our team and our supporters have accomplished.

This year, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, and what made this milestone even more momentous was the inauguration of the nation’s first openly gay governor. We kicked off 2019 by celebrating this historic victory at the Purple Ball: From the Hate State to the Great State.
In addition, we worked to get pro-equality champions elected to the state house and state senate, and we also helped pass truly landmark legislation, solidifying Colorado’s place as a leader within our movement and nationwide. We also continued to build upon our LGBTQ Youth and Schools program by relaunching the Youth Leadership Council — a volunteer council made up of student leaders in Colorado schools across the state.
This progress – much of which would have seemed unfathomable to those at Stonewall 50 years ago – would not have been possible without your support. Which is why I hope you’ll consider helping us close out 2019 (and the 2010s) by making a gift today!
We have come so far since those courageous members of our community stood up to the oppression that LGBTQ people faced at Stonewall 50 years ago. Our work is far from finished. But with your support, we will continue to fight for equality using the momentum gained over the past 9 years. Our movement and our community is counting on it.
