2023 Legislative Outcomes

Ensuring access to equal pay, continuation of a diaper distribution program, and the expansion of the earned income tax credit (EITC) and child tax credit all passed! We lobbied for Ensure Equal Pay for Equal Work and led a working coalition of organizations and individuals statewide to ensure the bill passed.

Overall, The Women's Foundation of Colorado celebrates 21 successful bills but we know that so much opportunity remains for elected officials to advance gender, racial, and economic equity.
