21st Century Transportation for Colorado

Light rail, clean bus systems, and other public transit should play a greater part in Colorado's transportation future. Efficient public transportation systems reduce the number of cars on the road and increase our options for getting around.

Issue | Democracy

Campaign Finance Reform

In 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court threw out six decades of established law by granting corporations the right to use their incredible wealth and power to influence elections. To stanch the flow of money into future elections, CoPIRG is supporting bills in a number of states and at the federal level that would force corporations to get approval from their shareholders before spending money in politics.

Issue | Budget, Tax

Close Corporate Tax Loopholes

Across the country, some of the nation’s best-known companies—including GE, Google and Goldman Sachs—have avoided paying the taxes they owe, costing taxpayers $100 billion last year. We're making corporations pay the taxes they owe.

Issue | Safe Energy

Energy Efficient Colorado

With our energy needs growing fast, and energy bills rising for all Coloradans, one thing is clear: We can’t afford to continue using energy wastefully. The solution to cutting these costs is simple — energy efficiency.

Issue | Health Care

Making Health Care Work Better

The fight for health care reform is in Denver, and so are the health care industry’s lobbyists. At stake is how we set up a new insurance marketplace in Colorado — the single biggest tool we have to clean up health care.

Issue | Budget, Food, Tax

Stop Subsidizing Obesity

Our tax dollars should only go to things that serve the public good, yet we’re handing out taxpayer subsidies to big agribusinesses to help subsidize junk food.
