Background Statement
9to5 Colorado is a statewide chapter of 9to5, a national grassroots organization of women and our allies, powering change.
Through leadership development, grassroots organizing, civic engagement and legislative advocacy, we are leading the way for fair, equitable and family-friendly workplaces. Our members are the people who are most affected by low wages, discrimination and inequality.
9to5 Colorado has led many grassroots organizing campaigns and won important policy victories since 1996, including winning Paid Family and Medical Leave via ballot initiative in 2020. Right now, we are leading the charge to implement paid leave and win quality & affordable childcare, pay equity, renters' rights, affordable housing. and climate justice.
Our work connects the issues women face in daily life with the decisions elected officials make, building people power by giving our members the tools and resources they need to organize for lasting change.
