In 2025 and beyond, we will mobilize communities to oppose anti-trans ballot measures and bolster LGBTQ+ rights by launching public education campaigns that highlight the human cost of transphobia and shift public opinion through real stories from transgender Coloradans. We will organize local training sessions, events, and advocacy toolkit distributions for local elections, build sustained support through statewide advocacy power-building, cross-movement solidarity, and targeted media outreach, to resist harmful policies.
One Colorado exists to secure protections and opportunities for LGBTQ+ Coloradans through grassroots, local, and statewide organizing and lobbying efforts.
