Hold yer horses.
Voting is the bare minimum - and we need you to be doing some voting in every election that happens. Still, things are pretty hard right now. How can you help your community? How can you create community? This does not have to look/feel political and it can be your time, your money, or even just making some space for things. Here's a few ideas we have for what else you can do!
You don't have to give millions to influence things. Small donations make a BIG difference and volunteering can look like so many things: door knocking, phone & text banking, election protection work and MORE. So to get you fired up we have included a few options for how you could spend some time and money. Do you have other ways to engage you want us to share? If so pop us an email (email addresses all the way down below).
Join a local commission or board! Your local community probably has a lot of boards they need volunteers for. Want your community to build more housing and transit? You could join the local planning commission and help make it easier! You can join the PTA and help your local schools. If you've thought about running for office but aren't sure- maybe consider a volunteer board or commission first to get a sense of things. It also does not have to be a government board , you could join the board for a any organization you care about. Your time and lived eperiences are valuable and organizations would love to have you. Plus you know who else are very cool, and very board members? ? Becky & Pinky!
Run for local office: If you're annoyed that the republican's have taken over your local scool board are you working to get good folks on that school board instead? There are some orgs dedicated to helping folks run for office here are a few: Run for something, Vote Save America , Emerge - CO & Women Uprising (we aren't sure how active the last one is).
Other orgs to donate/volunteer with!
Vote Save America you don't have to be a friend of the pod to sign up. The VSA site has great options to connect you with voluteer opportunities- especially if you want to help in swing states.
Vote Forward- This is a great option if calls or door knocking isn't for you or isn't accessible to you. They will get you info to write letters to voters in swing states- letters are one of the most effective ways to reach those voters btw! Just note there are firm deadlines on getting letters done so they reach voters in time for election day.
Colorado Democrats not sure where to start? Check out what our state Dem party is doing -- they can also connect you with your local county party folks or candidates.
Keep an eye on 2026:
We have a chance to flip congress. Including a competitive race here in CO.
Give Jon Ossoff your money if you can. Ossoff has the most competitive Senate seat up in 2026, he's been working hard for Georgia and holding the line to protect healthcare, immigration and abortion. He will see unprecedented spending against him so give him some of your money please and thank you.
Here in CO CD 8 will be a hot race AGAIN! Future one-term congressman, Gabe Evans will be up for reelection. He will face off against one of the 7(!) dems running in the primary. If you care about that primary, go find you a candidate. When we've picked a person for that race, you better give soem time and money to flip that district back!
Freaks who are obsessed with banning transgender children and their families from being free to live their lives are currently collecting signatures to get some creepy, broad measures on the Colorado ballot in 2026. The best way to help right now is to NOT SIGN THAT SHIT and start giving monthly (or one time is fine too) to One Colorado who is leading the fight against these measures. These freaks aren't stopping at attacking LGBTQ people at the federal level and we are not going to let them come after LGBTQ people in the fucking greatest state in the nation.
CO will also have competitive primaries for several statewide races, we might have some competitive statewides too--- stay tuned for more!
