The Colorado Children's Campaign 2024 legislative preview: Part 1

Welcome to The West Steps! We’re excited to return as your resource for all things kids and families during the 2024 Colorado legislative session.  

In the inaugural episode of Season 6, Colorado Children’s Campaign policy directors discuss what they’re anticipating and prioritizing at the capitol this year. 

Part 1 of our legislative preview features Sarah Barnes, Senior Director of Policy and Director of Family Economic Prosperity, with a brief overview of the economic challenges currently facing Colorado families and policy efforts that could help. Then, Madeleine Ashour, Director of Youth Success, tells us a little about her background with youth success and what's happening to support youth mental health and school funding. 

You can contact Sarah at sarahb@coloradokids.org and Madi at madeleine@coloradokids.org. Learn more about our work by visiting our website and stay up to date on our work by following us on social media (@coloradokidsorg).
