Public libraries are pillars of democracy that must be protected at all costs. Beyond providing free access to information, art, and entertainment, libraries have evolved into community centers where people from all backgrounds gather. They assist with tax filing, job searches, unemployment claims, and serve as unofficial shelters for the homeless, offering free Wi-Fi, educational programs, and more. Some libraries even have staff trained to administer Narcan for opioid overdoses, addressing critical public health issues. Moriah Isabel Smith examines the threats libraries currently face, such as book bans and funding cuts, and explores existing and proposed legislation aimed at securing the future of these essential democratic institutions.

Disability advocates are meeting with legislators to discuss plain language ballots. Plain language is clear and concise, often using short sentences, paragraphs, and common words. "A Ballotpedia analysis of ballot measures voted on in 2023 found that, on average, they required a graduate-school reading level to understand. That can be a challenge for most people who haven’t pursued higher education, let alone people with intellectual disabilities or symptoms that affect their cognition."

Colorado is the fifth most expensive state for child care, but through advocacy and policy, many are hoping to fuel a change in our state. The Growing Our Future coalition has launched a groundbreaking campaign to raise awareness and support for statewide funding for child care. This campaign highlights the importance of early child care for children's development and our economy. Did you know? - The economic impact of inadequate child care in Colorado is a staggering $2.7 billion! - A two-parent household in Colorado spends, on average, 14% of their income on child care, and single parents spend 41%. - An extensive poll revealed that three in four Coloradans see a need for more funding for child care and early learning, showcasing strong bipartisan support. We are proud to be part of this coalition, advocating for a collective approach to child care solutions. Together, we can make child care accessible and affordable for all Colorado families.
