United for a New Economy - UNE
@unecolorado.bsky.social
UNE: a multiracial community organization building people power and leaders for a thriving economy in Colorado https://s.mtrbio.com/united-for-a-new-economy
Life didn't just give us people. Our people are what gives us life. When we build people power and fight for the change that our communities need, we can work together towards a better tomorrow.
Our new release, "The Hidden Heist," is a massive research project exposing how corporations have pushed state bans that block the things our communities need to thrive. We traced their tactics across states, industries and decades—here's what we found👇 www.powerswitchaction.org/resources/th...
The Hidden Heist
How Corporations Push State Bans to Keep Us Broke and Hijack Our Democracy

corporate landlords don't seem to love it when you stand up and fight for your rights...
UNE Member Debra Sutton's words are clear: “When billionaires rig our tax systems for their profit, they’re not just threatening Medicaid. They’re threatening lives.”

Proposition NN will head to the ballot this November, where voters will have the chance to unrig our tax system and push back against greedy corporations and billionaires. 🧵
This Monday, UNE member Debra spoke at the Colorado stop of the @fobaction.bsky.social Who Pays? Bus Tour. Together, the speakers shared their stories. Debra said it best: “When billionaires rig our tax systems for their profit, they’re not just threatening Medicaid. They’re threatening lives.”
Corporate landlords love to say that the issue is a lack of housing. But they're the ones holding onto thousands of homes and setting the rents higher than we can afford. Those corporations and their billionaire CEOs refuse to see the real solution: safe, stable and affordable housing for everyone.
Billionaires are breaking the bank. Meanwhile, everyday Coloradans are fighting back. On Monday, July 13th, UNE and @coloradoea.bsky.social will host the Colorado stop of the @fobaction.bsky.social Who Pays? Bus Tour. Sign up to join us: https://www.mobilize.us/unitedforaneweconomy/event/980974/

UNE's work and the work of our members are important for lots of reasons. But don't just take it from us, listen as UNE member and small landlord Bev explains it from her perspective.
Who needs AI when you have resources like UNE members? We'd love to tell you all about our work and the power that we're building.
UNE member Tony Torrez wrote a letter to the editor of the Westminster Window. Tony's message was clear: our next governor must support overturning the ban on local control of rents. And Tony's not alone. Communities across Colorado need a governor who will support overturning the ban.
Programs like Medicaid are essential for keeping people like Cheryl healthy, stable, and housed. Right now, billionaires are leveraging the federal budget to hoard wealth and make it harder for people to access the supports their lives depend on. We can't let that go on.
Do you have a plan to vote? Your primary ballot is headed to your mailbox THIS WEEK! When our communities vote, we have the power to decide our representatives and our futures. Head to https://justvotecolorado.org/ to answer any questions and find your nearest ballot box.
Our communities need Colorado to repeal the statewide ban on local control of rents so that we can bring housing costs down and provide safety and stability for renters across our state. It's not that complicated, and it's a great idea. What's not to like?
When our communities organize together, we're all stronger. But it's not just about power and strength. Organizing together helps us see a better future for all of us.
Earlier this week, UNE members in Commerce City learned about the city's housing authority and other solutions to our overall broken housing system. When our communities understand the systems they live under, they can work together to build a better future for all of us.
Dear Colorado Governor Candidates: If you truly want affordability for Coloradans, you have to confront skyrocketing rents directly. https://www.coloradopolitics.com/2026/05/20/sponsored-what-youre-missing-about-housing-an-open-letter-to-all-of-colorados-candidates-for-governor/
This year, Colorado will get a new governor. And they’ll have a choice to make: listen to our communities or listen to corporate greed. Hard-working people across our state need a governor who will stand with them and support local rent stabilization. #HomesForAll #COPolitics #LocalControlOfRent
Right now, the officials that are supposed to represent us are trying to pass a bill that would give $70 billion to ICE and CBP instead of addressing what our communities really need.
Do you know have a plan to vote in next month's primary? Voting is how we build communities that are stronger, safer, and actually meet our needs. Learn more at https://justvotecolorado.org/
things are pretty scary out there, y'all. stay safe, stay powerful, stay organized. #community las cosas nos pueden dar un poco de miedo, todos. quédete seguro, poderoso, y organizado.
landlords love to say that rents are going down and our communities are getting more affordable, but for who? Luxury apartments might be a bit cheaper, but that doesn't mean they're affordable for most of us.
Greedy corporate landlords love to claim that rents are falling, but that doesn't quite fit with what UNE members are seeing. When we listen to real people, this story becomes a lot harder to believe. More at https://coloradosun.com/2026/04/25/denver-renters-market-average-rents/
UNE members are fighting for strong renter protections at the local level, pushing for a new tax system at the state level and meeting with their federal representatives. We'd say that's pretty busy.
Greedy corporate landlords just don't understand how to make decisions that aren't profit-first. When our communities work together and build based on what really impacts our lives, we can create a future where all of us can actually thrive.
