Amendment 87 — the Income Tax Fairness Act — will provide a tax cut for 97% of Colorado taxpayers including small businesses, seniors, and veterans. Every new dollar from Amendment 87, estimated to raise at least $2 billion per year, is locked in for K-12 schools, health care, and child care with an annual independent audit.
1) Sign up to phone bank: https://www.mobilize.us/protectcoloradosfuture/event/1033999/?emci=
BONUS— Great Ed staff are hosting the coalition phone bank next Tuesday, September 29. We hope to see you there — or to see you sign up for any other date you’re available. Phone banking shifts happen over Zoom and each shift starts with a training. Participants will need both a computer and a phone. (PS: Phone banking is easier than signature gathering!)
2) Print our flyer and share it.
We also have this education-focused flyer and these updated school district info sheets you can share.
Invite Great Ed to come speak with your school board, PTA, DAC, book club, friend group, etc. We’re happy to focus on Amendment 87, present the full picture of school finance, or help cut through the noise about all 14 statewide ballot measures.
4) Record a video explaining why you support Amendment 87.
Filming a short selfie video is something easy, quick, and impactful you can do to help support our fight to fix Colorado’s broken tax code. Use this guide to create and upload a video for Protect Colorado’s Future and/or Great Ed to use for the campaign.
5) Donate to Great Education Colorado Action.
Help us power voter outreach and engagement. This is a great way those who prefer to support behind-the-scenes or don’t have time to volunteer can still contribute to the campaign!
We know we face a number of challenges in the fight to make our schools welcoming and adequately, equitably, and sustainably funded. We also know that informed and organized people have the power to advance education policy that best serves our students, teachers, and communities. Thank you for being part of this work with us!
