This is poised to crush our limited supply of child care centers who operate on tiny margins,add further burden on our state budget-already challenged to absorb other costs shifted onto it by federal HR1. Most of all it jeopardizes services to our more economically fragile families. #TANF #childcare
This is cruel, absurd, and illegal. Don't let deception tempt you to think otherwise. coloradosun.com/2026/01/07/c...

Medicaid is a commitment we’ve made to one another, not a burden. To address Colorado’s budget crisis, we must shift our focus to the real culprit behind our budget issues. coloradosun.com/2025/12/18/o...
Opinion: TABOR is the real drag on Colorado’s budget woes, not Medicaid

Cash matters. Even a small amount helps people meet what they experience as their most important needs.
New evidence in support of universal basic income. This is via the Rx Kids program that's going to babies for their 1st year of life. The $500/mo has led to a 32% reduction in allegations of maltreatment among infants compared to the control group. This has also been seen as a result of Alaska's UBI

A lot to digest: collaborating with dozens of community & governmental organizations. It will take coordinated efforts to implement the provisions of #OBBBA with diminishing resources while minimizing the damage to people’s access to #SNAP & #Medicaid
This document reflects contributions over the late summer and early fall of 2025 by Coloradans who shared their expertise in public benefits systems; discussed current current obstacles to public programs, training, & decent jobs; & debated solutions.

Continuing a disturbing practice of providing no advance notice of massive change without allowing time for individuals, governments, nonprofits and businesses to cope or plan for transitions. This capriciousness intensifies the chaos and damage done.
FRAC is deeply disappointed that the USDA quietly released an alarming memo late last week announcing that states have until November 1 to implement some of the most harmful cuts to the SNAP in decades.
