Colorado 50-50 is a nonpartisan, educational nonprofit formed with the belief that officeholders – whether elected or appointed – should more closely reflect the population.  Colorado 50-50 holds events around the state and online to inspire and train women to become civically engaged, apply for boards and commissions, and run for office.

Emerge Colorado is changing the face of Colorado politics by identifying, training and encouraging women to run for office, get elected and to seek higher office. Our intensive, cohort-based six-month training program is unique. As the number of elected Democratic women remains flat or even declines, the need for our work is growing.
