Together Colorado
Together Colorado is organizing congregations in Denver to make sure that our multifaith values are front and center during the 2023 elections this Spring.
Colorado Springs Faith Table, a caucus of Together Colorado, has put together this questionnaire for Colorado Springs City Council Candidates. As a nonpartisan organization, we are not endorsing any candidates. Rather we hope this questionnaire can serve as guide for you while you vote in this important election.
In 2022, we worked together across the state to get out the vote, protect funding for our communities, increase ballot transparency, and hold the wealthiest few accountable for paying what they owe in taxes. We supported Proposition GG for ballot transparency and fought against Initative 121, a tax cut that removed $600 million from our state budget.

In 2021, we fought for our right to share housing costs with roommates and to support residential facilities for the elderly, unhoused, and returning citizens in Denver. We also organized for transparency and accountability in law enforcement by making the Office of the Independent Monitor autonomous of the agencies it oversees.
We are thrilled that, together, we defeated Ballot Measure 2F, which would have made it illegal to live with more than one unrelated roommate, and passed Measure 2G, which will strengthen the Office of the Independent Monitor. Learn more in our full summary below!
Whether we are Black or white, native or newcomer, Latino or Asian, we know that, for democracy to work for all of us, it must include us all. During the 2020 Civic Engagement season, we organized with our leaders and faith leaders for fair taxes, paid family and medical leave, and to get out the vote in Colorado.
We’re so grateful for our powerful leaders, faith leaders and partner organizations. Our sustained collective efforts place us further on the path for human dignity for all Coloradans – Black, brown, white, native or newcomer – no exceptions.
In such a time as this, we must think about how we support one another to organize around the changes we want to see in creating quality schools, a moral economy, accountability and voice in local and national policies, equal access to affordable health care and dismantling systems of racism and white supremacy.
