Help Us Get It Done
Get It Done! is a collaborative campaign urging the Colorado legislature to take bold and concrete action to implement the recommendations of two school finance adequacy studies that were presented to state representatives in January 2025.
“Getting It Done” means using the studies as a catalyst for action to ensure that public schools have the resources necessary to help all students succeed. It means rejecting the idea that Colorado’s underfunding of schools is inevitable. It calls on legislators and voters to step up to the challenge of finally doing right by Colorado’s students.
Through community engagement and collaboration, Get It Done amplifies individual voices into collective power, making real change possible.”
Core Values:
Inform
We provide clear, actionable insights that break down complex issues and empower advocates to take meaningful action. Knowledge is the foundation for driving change in education funding.
Include
Advocacy is stronger when all voices are heard. We create inclusive spaces where diverse perspectives shape solutions and build a united movement.
Impact
Real change happens through measurable results. We focus on turning advocacy efforts into tangible outcomes, from policy wins to increased funding.
Inspire
Personal stories and a shared vision fuel action. By fostering hope and collective ambition, we motivate communities to believe in and work toward a brighter future for all students.

Advocacy Tiers
It’s going to take all of us to demand and deliver fully, fairly funded public schools across the state. Our goal with the Get It Done! campaign is to offer a variety of resources for participants with various levels of knowledge and experience. We also built a tiered structure for engagement to allow folks to join however they can and encourage increased participation over time. Whatever your background and capacity, there’s a place in this fight for you.
Each action you take as part of the Get It Done! campaign – completing an online action, attending a monthly Advocates Network meeting, making a donation, etc. – will earn you more points. Accruing more points comes with fun benefits and opportunities for recognition.
