About the Progressive Voters Guide

The Progressive Voters Guide is an annual project of ProgressNow Colorado and Fuse Washington. We combined the endorsements of Colorado's leading progressive organizations with research about candidates to give you the information you've been searching for to be an informed voter. More than 5,000,000 people have used the Progressive Voters Guide since 2008, and hundreds of thousands come back each and every election for more of our thorough candidate research and trusted recommendations.

AFT Colorado is a union that represents thousands of members in K-12 Education, Higher Education, and Public Service.

The Bell Policy Center

The Bell Policy Center

Since 2000, the Bell Policy Center has worked to advance economic mobility in Colorado. Today, we seek to answer a critical question: In a state that boasts one of the best economies in the country, why do so many feel unable to get ahead? 

Despite our state’s growing prosperity, Coloradans feel stuck. To address this economic anxiety and find answers for families and communities, we have sharpened our vision to meet the moment: Our mission is to ensure economic mobility for every Coloradan.

Cobalt

Cobalt

Cobalt believes nothing should stand between you and your health decisions. We are dedicated to fighting for systems, structures and policies that expand abortion access and protect reproductive rights. Our goal: every Coloradan is able to make health decisions that are right for them, free from stigma, systemic barriers, and politics.
