No Occupation of Venezuela! No Occupation of Our Cities!

RSVP to today’s 6th & Main event in Longmont

From the Longmont Vigil newsletter —

We know the bombs over Venezuela and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s untrained ICE militia in our cities are about billionaires making themselves richer no matter the human cost. We stand united demanding an end to the Venezuelan occupation and the removal of reckless untrained ICE agents from our communities.

RSVP to today’s 6th & Main event in Longmont

Remember: There is no action too small. Standing with a sign on any street corner, putting a sign in your window, on your lawn, or in your car, or driving down Main Street and honking in support for the Vigil. However you make noise and good trouble, it all makes a difference.

Please note: A core principle behind all our events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

LYONS VISIBILITY EVENT, Saturday, January 10, noon – 1:00pm, Freedom Triangle where Main St and Broadway come together, just east of 3rd  Avenue, Lyons.  For more info, click here.

We’re so excited to kick off another critically important ELECTION YEAR with our first LAD meeting of 2026. Starting with CANDIDATES: LAD has a proud tradition of introducing our attendees to candidates early & throughout the election season — not a candidate forum per se, but 15 minutes per candidate, including Q&A. On hand will be Karen Breslin, candidate for US Senate, David Hughes, candidate for Governor, David Seligman, candidate for AG, and Kristopher Larsen, candidate for CU Regent (CD2).

THEN, Colorado Fiscal Institute (CFI) —“We envision a Colorado where people-centered policies advance equity / prosperity for all” — will present on an upcoming, and potentially ground breaking ballot measure to implement a graduated income tax for Colorado.

BE THE FIRST TO KNOW! — SO PLEASE JOIN US, and please…tell a friend! LAD meetings are fun, and always informative!

DECEMBER 2, 2025 LONGMONT CITY COUNCIL AGENDA, HERE.

Click the widget, below, for 2025 Statewide and Boulder County Election Results, and pre-election posts. THANKS FOR VOTING!:

It is with great sadness that we learned of the tragic loss of State Senator Faith Winter Thursday morning, as the result of a car accident Wednesday night.

We are heartbroken for our local legislators, Faith’s colleagues, who served alongside her, were her friends, and who witnessed firsthand her remarkable accomplishments as an esteemed legislator, not only leading the way in addressing sexual harassment within the halls of the Capitol and beyond, but being a champion for paid family leave, the environment, and transportation.

Faith also met personal and health challenges with bravery and humility. At 45, she was to embark upon yet another chapter of service to our beloved state, continuing to make it a better place to live for all Coloradans. She will be sorely missed by so many.

Our sincere condolences to her extended family, her two kids, Sienna and Tobin, her fiancé, Matt Gray, and the very large circle of folks who loved Faith.

Rest in peace. — The Board of Longmont Area Democrats

“Our state is shaken by the loss of Senator Faith Winter, and I send my deepest condolences to her children, loved ones, friends, and colleagues across our state. Faith was a fierce advocate for hardworking Coloradans, women, and families, and our climate. I’ve known Faith for nearly twenty years, first as an organizer for environmental causes and then expanding women’s representation and leadership, and finally, as a state senator. I have had the honor of working with her on many issues to improve the lives of every person and family in our great state, and tackling climate change. I am deeply saddened for her family, her friends and colleagues, and her community. Faith’s work and advocacy made Colorado a better state.” — Governor Jared Polis

“Susan and I are devastated to learn of the tragic loss of Colorado State Senator Faith Winter.

Faith fought passionately for the people of our state. She was a tireless advocate for parental and family leave and our citizens’ access to effective transit and transportation in their daily lives.

We send our deepest condolences to Senator Winter’s family and friends during this unimaginable time.” — US Senator Michael Bennet

“Faith was a deeply complex person, and she moved through multiple challenges with grace and remained dedicated to the work she was doing. She believed in the work she was doing, believed in the power of friendship and connection and will always live on that way and certainly live on in my heart.” — State Senator Lisa Cutter

“She was just always happy, and willing to reach out, and had a great attitude, and willing to put the work in. And was really good at her job, good at what she did, good at helping get folks elected, good at representing her district, good at being a chair, good at shepherding major pieces of legislation. She just really excelled at a lot of that and she will be very missed. I’ll miss her the rest of my life.” — former State Senator Kevin Priola

“Faith Winter was a trailblazer, a leader, and a friend like no other. She did more to meaningfully improve the lives of Coloradans than almost anyone in our state’s history. Senator Winter championed an immense list of historic legislation, from equal pay to climate justice to finding billions of dollars for transportation. Her legacy to Colorado will outlast all of us. Nobody has worked harder to uplift other women and emerging leaders as they rose themselves. The gut-wrenching loss of this titan, who loved sunflowers and called so many of us ‘friend,’ is an inestimable loss for our state and for the progressive movement.”  — Sara Loflin, Executive Director, ProgessNow Colorado
