Becky & Pinky's 2026 Voter Guide: Got Bit By The Ballot And Became That Ballot!

You made it! Welcome to the definitive Colorado Ballot Guide on the internet!

We would love to see you in person at our Voter Guide Meetup! It's THE place to learn about the ballot and connect with trusted experts (us)  about voting! 

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. In addition to being voting experts we also want to connect you to other efforts to help protect our democracy. 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 . 

• Donate to or Volunteer with an org or campaign working to fix issues in your community. Literally any that you vibe with.

Suggested political orgs to donate/volunteer with! 

• Blue Wave Postcards- help contact CO voters (or voters in other states) via postcards to GOTV!

• 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.
