Get to Know a Mighty Partner: New Era Colorado

Mighty Partner: New Era Colorado

Who they are: New Era is the leading voice for young people in Colorado politics and one of the most effective youth civic engagement organizations in the country. In their own words: ”We're reinventing politics-as-usual by leading the charge to tackle today’s biggest issues and lifting up our communities along the way.”

Why their work matters now: They are bringing a young, progressive and diverse generation into the political world—not to get in line and stick with the status quo, but to take charge and reshape our democracy to work better for everyone.

Did you know: They have registered over 200,000 young voters in Colorado!

How you can support them: Build a youth-driven democracy.

Mic drop: “A new generation needs a new approach to politics. Young people are not here for partisan cheerleading: We care about progress, we care about justice, and we care about action. Transforming democracy to work for our generation means bringing everything back to the issues that are important to us and removing barriers to participation, which is exactly what we do.”

We’re in a defining moment—a moment where we can choose to be overwhelmed, disconnected and discouraged, or where we can choose to be positive, embrace change and lift up the work of others seeking a better future together. We’re proud to support the work of the people and organizations out changing this world for the better—for all of us. Some may be small, some large. All are Mighty. Each month, we’ll be highlighting one of our Mighty Partners and we encourage you to get to know them, support them, and share their work with your friends, families and colleagues. Let’s get to work.
