Together Colorado Legislation
2026 Legislative Priorities
HB-1005 Worker Protection
Collective Bargaining
Removes barriers for workers to negotiate for better pay, benefits, and working conditions, strengthening collective bargaining rights across Colorado.
HB-1224 Protections for
Mobile Home Park Residents
Requires landlords to clearly notify residents when rent hikes are temporarily banned and when a park is for sale, and caps registration fees at $17 per household so families aren’t squeezed further.
SB-002 Energy Affordability
Strengthens and standardizes existing utility affordability programs, known as Percentage of Income Payment Plans (PIPP), so that more families can reliably access essential assistance.
SB-070 Protecting Everyone from Excessive Police Surveillance (PEEPS)
Prohibits government agencies from accessing databases of people’s past location data, safeguarding privacy and preventing surveillance.
SB-005 Rights Violation in
Immigration Enforcement
Creates a new path in Colorado for people to sue for damages when their U.S. constitutional rights are violated during civil immigration enforcement.
SB-135 State Public K-12
Education Funding
SB26-135 modernizes Colorado’s outdated school funding rules so that more of the money our state already collects can go directly to educating kids.

2021 Legislative Summary
During the 2021 Colorado Legislative Session, Together Colorado encouraged our state elected officials to advance our human dignity legislative agenda. As a member-led organization, we identified three pieces of legislation to prioritize: SB21-173 to strengthen renters' rights, HB21-1117 to expand affordable housing, and HB21-1142 to reform the discriminatory police practice known as a showup. Together Colorado Federated Committees supported additional legislation that will keep families together regardless of immigration status, improve conditions for agricultural workers, clean up our air and water, and make sure every child in Colorado has the resources they need to thrive. This session, Together Colorado Leaders and Faith Leaders demonstrated tremendous grassroots organizing power to stand with all our neighbors, no matter what we look like or where we come from.
2020 Legislative Summary
To say the 2020 legislative session was unprecedented would be an understatement. As Coloradans, we know what it’s like to make tough choices, especially now. The role of our state government is to make our choices a little easier by making sure families have what they need: a safe and affordable home, the ability to earn a good living, stay healthy, and retire in dignity, the opportunity to provide a bright future for our children, and the chance to move through our communities without fearing for our lives or our loved ones.
We all have a role to play in creating the Colorado we want and we need our state government to step in in a crisis, not step away. That means more than just responding to an emergency; it means investing in us and our collective future. If this pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that we all depend on one another. But being in this together and recognizing our dependence on one another also means investing in the people and services that keep our communities safe and functioning during this pandemic and beyond. Now is the time for those we elected to unite across differences and make policy choices that help every-day people.
2019 Legislative Summary
During the 2019 Colorado Legislative Session, we encouraged our state elected officials to promote an agenda of human dignity by supporting legislation that provides affordable health care for all Coloradans, allows cities and counties to raise the minimum wage, promotes and protects affordable housing, supports family values by passing paid family and medical leave, and advances the dignity and safety of immigrant families through expansion of the existing driver’s license program.

CLIMATE JUSTICE
The earth is sacred. We must live in balance with all of creation, using only what we need, and recognizing that there is enough for all.
