VISION: We envision a strong, prosperous, and just Colorado Springs community wherein all are cared for, valued, and listened to.  

​

MISSION: Unite Colorado Springs will foster the creation, development, and maintenance of a cohesive, unified force with the capacity, will, and organization to effectively address the most pressing issues in our region.

​

ABOUT US: Unite Colorado Springs is a  progressive and independent organization working in the Pikes Peak region to unite, invigorate, and empower our members to make positive change in our community.​

​

Unite Colorado Springs is a grassroots and member-driven direct action organization. Through innovative, digitally-connected campaigns, Unite Colorado Springs will advocate for the most effective and progressive solutions for our region. Unite Colorado Springs will cooperate, collaborate and mobilize to effectively influence our local politics and finally give a voice to you, the people. 

​

The strength of the people of the Pikes Peak region lies in their sense of togetherness, love, and willingness to help one another in times of need. It is these principles which guide people along the whole political spectrum in our region. We must recognize our common humanity to devise solutions which help everyone in the region, not just the powerful or well-to-do. Please consider supporting Unite Colorado Springs.

​

WHAT WE BELIEVE: The Pikes Peak region has consistently been ranked one of the best areas to work, live, and travel in the United States, and it’s understandable why. Many local treasures such as the Air Force Academy, USOC, The Garden of the Gods, The Broadmoor, five military establishments, CC, UCCS, PPCC, and our top-notch hospitals have contributed immensely to the economic vitality of the region for decades and our unbeatable parks, trails, and other public open spaces make the city immensely attractive for tourists from around the world. Colorado Springs has a solid foundation as a healthy, vital, and thriving economy, and it is upon that foundation that we must continue to build a Colorado Springs that works for and benefits all its residents, not just the well-to-do.

​

For too long, those on the margins of society in the Pikes Peak region have been drowned out by those with immense power and influence. Those who most directly influence decisions at the municipal level represent the interests of a certain portion of the population – not the overwhelming majority of this city’s inhabitants. Moving forward, Unite Colorado Springs will give a voice to the voiceless, advocate for those on society’s margins, and achieve tangible change in our community that will truly benefit all of our beloved community’s residents.
