2024 Legislative Priorities

Our levels of support for bills, which range from monitoring to lobbying, are determined by availability of resources, the need for our support, and alignment with our policy priorities, listed below:

1. Address root causes of poverty and provide holistic and flexible resources to women and their families
2. Reform Colorado’s tax and budget policies to promote equity and allow for sufficient resources to be dedicated to WFCO priorities
3. Promote issues and protect rights that promote gender, racial, and economic equity

Levels of support:

• Lobby/active: Our lobbying team at Frontline Public Affairs will lobby three bills. We will also use organizational resources to provide testimony, participate/lead coalition strategy meetings, engage with stakeholders, meet with legislators, communicate resources, and more.
• Active: We will provide support/opposition on bills, which may include testimony, participation in coalition strategy meetings, stakeholder engagement, meeting with legislators, etc.
• Passive: We will provide/support opposition on bills, alert key stakeholders to add The Women’s Foundation of Colorado to fact sheets
• Amending/monitor: We will monitor progress and may gather more information to evaluate potential implications and inform future position
