📣Say it louder for the people in the back!!!🔥 Amendment 87 is by the people, for the people. As one of our incredible volunteers said, it’s about putting the “MANY over the MONEY!” Many = 97%, Money = 3%... Let’s DO THIS! #YesOn87 #NoOn136

Americans are right to be outraged about corporations paying too little in taxes. Corporate tax revenue dropped by roughly $70 billion over the past year while corporate profits soared. Trump's 2025 tax cuts for the rich have fueled that. nytimes.com/2026/10/17/busin…

Corporate Tax Revenue Falls Even as Profits Soar Under Trump

The annual decline was about $70 billion. Companies are writing off billions in A.I. investments, taking advantage of tax cuts that President Trump signed into law.

Rejection rates jumped in states that began requiring ID numbers on ballots. Colorado could be next. coloradosun.com/2026/10/21/a… #copolitics

Rejection rates jumped in states that began requiring ID numbers on ballots. Colorado could be next.

As Colorado voters weigh Amendment 84, data from Texas, Georgia and Virginia show an initial increase in ballots thrown out after new ID requirements.

Indeed. And much of it is being spent to spread lies about the graduated income tax. The truth is that Amendment 87 will cut taxes for anyone making less than $500k a year. That includes small business owners, seniors and vets. Get the facts at protectcoloradosfuture.com

Yes on 87 | Protect Colorado's Future

Vote YES on 87, the Income Tax Fairness Act. Cut taxes for 97% of Coloradans and protect funding for schools, health care and child care.

Curious, isn't it, why conservatives who so often talk about cutting taxes are foaming at the mouth in opposition to Amendment 87, which would cut taxes for 97% of Coloradans. #copolitics denverpost.com/2026/10/13/am…

Amendment 87 is a tax cut for the vast majority of Coloradans. Why do conservatives oppose it?...

That’s the problem with Colorado’s current state income tax; the burden is on the wrong Coloradans. This November, we can fix that problem.

Understanding marginal tax rates is a critical part of the discussion about Amendment 87, the graduated income tax. Check out our one-pager explaining them. bellpolicy.org/in-the-know-m…

In The Know: Marginal Tax Rates

Marginal tax rates allow policymakers to tax different income levels at different rates, making the overall tax code, inclusive of all types of taxes, more fair.
