Policy Progress, Partnership Power & Plot Twists from the 2025 Legislative Session
From Reilly Pharo Carter
As the dust settles on the 2025 Colorado legislative session, we’re proud to report major wins for Colorado kids and families. Three of our four priority bills successfully passed both chambers and have now either been signed or are awaiting the Governor’s signature. While one key effort fell short, the progress made this session reaffirms the power of dreaming big and taking action.
Without question, these policies would not exist if it weren’t for the incredible partners who developed concepts, pushed our thinking, stood alongside us, and navigated complex political terrain in order to advance the work. We are grateful for the partnership of so many incredible advocates, individuals, and state agencies who we were able to work alongside this year.
Here’s a closer look at the wins, lessons and momentum we’re carrying into the future.
