Government must abide by the laws it enacts, including the laws that require open public meetings, open records and others that ensure transparent and accountable government. Citizens deserve to know holding state and local government accountable can be complex.
Advance Colorado is unafraid to publicly demand accountability and transparency from government at all levels. We have a long and successful history of exposing illegal efforts to keep Coloradans in the dark about the workings of their own government.
For example:
These are just two recent examples of how we shine a bright spotlight on government at the State Capitol, in local communities, through the news media and in the courts and open records.
We craft cutting edge policies that empower parents, taxpayers, and teachers and push back on the status quo interests that resist reform.
Our 2024 Policy Agenda includes several important education reform priorities. Read it HERE
This year, we are leading the charge to protect the school choice rights we currently have – rights that are annually under siege from the education establishment groups that want to eliminate your right to choose the best school for your children. We can secure our rights into the future through a school choice amendment to the Colorado Constitution.
Read our policy brief on this important issue HERE.
We help citizens become advocates and leaders.
Whether you are a concerned parent, grandparent or taxpayer, Advance Colorado can equip you with the knowledge and tools to be an effective advocate for high quality, accountable schools. Learn more about our ambassador program.

Colorado is a special place with special people. For too long, leaders have stood by while liberal special interest groups and politicians have turned Colorado into a testing ground for some of the most liberal policies and plans in the nation.
