New Era Colorado Foundation reinvents civic engagement for young people, mobilizing and empowering a new generation to make Colorado a better place for everyone. Through our nonpartisan voter registration and GOTV efforts, we have registered over 200,000 young people to vote. We've also advocated for change on the issues young people care about in Colorado as well as worked to gain critical protections for student loan borrowers, voter preregistration for 16 and 17 year olds, and guaranteed campus voter service centers and drop boxes."
