WHO WE ARE
We are a group of Coloradans who are fed up with increasing costs in our state.
We need state-level policy solutions that immediately provide relief and support to Coloradans by reducing costs in the short-term and, in the long-term, addressing the comprehensive problems contributing to the increasing cost of living.
"We all know – because the voters have told us – that we need to work to make Colorado more affordable." - Governor Jared Polis, State of the State, 2024

THE PROBLEM
Every Coloradan knows that the cost of living in our beautiful state has increased at a rapid rate. Colorado families and businesses are struggling to keep up.
COST OF HOME OWNERSHIP
The average purchase price of a home in Colorado is $535,000. The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment is $2,000 per month. Electricity bills have risen 38% since 2019. These are unsustainable costs for Coloradans.
COST OF EVERYDAY LIFE
Prices for groceries like chicken and milk have skyrocketed. Milk is up to $4 per gallon from $2.99. Average daycare bills are $19,000 per year. More than ever before, we are having to choose between food and heating our homes.
SO WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT IT?
The Colorado legislature needs to work on policy solutions that provide immediate relief to financially strained Coloradans, reducing costs in the short-term and, in the long-term, tackling the comprehensive problems contributing to the increasing cost of living.
