Like air to breathe and food to eat, safe shelter is a basic human need. But this November, affordable housing options are under attack by a Denver ballot initiative, 2F, that would severely limit our options to share housing costs with roommates. Together we can defeat 2F and send a strong message that we all belong in Denver. Register below to be part of this effort!

Al igual que el aire que respiramos y los alimentos que comemos, un refugio seguro es una necesidad humana básica. Este noviembre, las opciones de vivienda asequible están siendo atacadas por una iniciativa de votación de Denver que limitaría severamente nuestras opciones para compartir los costos de vivienda con los compañeros de cuarto. Juntos, podemos derrotar esta iniciativa de votación y enviar un fuerte mensaje de que todos pertenecemos a Denver. ¡Regístrese a continuación para ser parte de este esfuerzo!
Vote NO on Denver Measure 2F
Home is the place where we lay our heads, hug our loved ones, and make our memories. But this November, affordable housing options are under attack in Denver. A special interest group is funding a ballot measure that seeks to severely limit the option to share housing costs with roommates.
What would this ballot measure do?
- Limit the number of unrelated adults who can legally live together to just two. This hurts intergenerational families, low-income adults, unmarried couples, students, and ANYONE seeking to share housing costs.
- Put zoning limitations on congregant living and residential care facilities for the elderly, unhoused, and returning citizens, making it even harder for those in need to access necessary services.
With skyrocketing housing costs and stagnant wages, residents of Denver need all of their options open for affordable housing, including living with roommates. From custodians to nurses to faith leaders and teachers – we make Denver a city where everyone thrives. VOTE NO on 2F!

Vote YES on Denver Measure 2G – Building a Strong Office of the Independent Monitor
- Initiative 2G will increase the autonomy of the Office of the Independent Monitor, reinforcing public trust in law enforcement and bolstering the integrity of the OIM’s investigations
- It will provide job protections for employees of the OIM through the Career Services system, which means freedom to complete their job duties without fear of retaliation
- This proposal will give the OIM access to independent and balanced legal advice
- Initiative 2G is a result of years of community input and research
- Other cities, like New Orleans, Miami, and Chicago, have a similar model
