Your Vote, Your Voice!
Your Vote, Your Voice!
One week till Election Day!
Next Tuesday, November 4, 2014 is the BIG DAY! Our democracy will be in action and, hopefully, your voice will be heard.
It’s hard when nearly $100 Million has been spent in Colorado already, but there’s hope. Colorado voters can see the difference between corporate money and genuine free speech–even if we’ve been subjected to scads of advertising, mailers, and maybe a door-knocker or two.
Folks know an important election when they see one. There are US Congressional and Senate races; state legislative battles, multiple proposed ballot measures, plenty of local items, and more. A lot is happening and you better not miss out. Click here to see Colorado’s official Elections Page and Ballot Guide.
One of the proposed ballot measures is Proposition 105. If passed, people would have the right to know when food has genetically modified ingredients. WCC’s working hard to support consumers who are hungry for transparency in their food, even if Monsanto and other giants donate millions in opposition.
Maybe you’ve already voted early or by mail-in ballot. More Coloradans are doing it as a way to ease lines at the voting booth on Election Day (Nov4). Others prefer mail-in options because you aren’t rushed and decisions can be made at the kitchen table. Just make sure it gets to Denver on time!
You can still vote in person, either early or on Tuesday, November 4. Voting Centers have been set-up across Colorado, and there may be one near you. Click here for more info about where to vote in Colorado.
Emily stepped up as our staff director in 2017, but originally joined our team as a community organizer in 2013. Born and raised on the Western Slope, Emily graduated from Colorado State University and then had the privilege of learning from and working alongside organizers in Central and South America as well as Appalachian coal country. They returned to their home state to protect the land they love and work with fellow Coloradans for a healthy, just and self-reliant future for our rural communities. Emily enjoys organizing, exploring the Colorado Plateau, country music and punk concerts with equal passion.
