Changes coming...

In order to allow for more flexibility and growth, we've made the decision to transition to a 100% remote workplace from our current location. We've been considering this change for a while, and now feels like the right time. This will give us more agility as a company, allowing us to do more and better work to elect Democrats across the country.

When we first made the move from a home-based office to a storefront in 2013, it was to facilitate growth.

We moved to a one-room office and quickly needed more space and moved to our current storefront, where we've been for the last eight years.

We have seen a lot of changes in the business in the past few years, but none so big as our decision to focus on clients around the country with a greater specialization in mail, digital, and media.

We've made it through the pandemic in this office, where we've learned to work remotely as a team. We've made employee-focused changes, like allowing employee-directed hybrid schedules and blanket approval for remote work. This feels like the right time to make this move.

We will miss this workspace, but we are excited about embracing change and moving to our next stage in our growth!

There are years when celebrating the 4th of July feels more difficult than others, but we are reminded that Independence Day is a celebration of revolution. So, this holiday, instead of celebrating the decisions of some in our government who are actively working to suppress democracy, limit the rights of anyone who is not a wealthy, Christian, white, cishet man, and rollback our ability to protect the environment, we are letting this date be a reminder to renew our commitment to organize and fight back.

Congratulations Justice Brown Jackson for your historic accomplishment, and thank you Justice Breyer for your decades of service on the high court.

Ketanji Brown Jackson was sworn in Thursday at noon.

President Biden nominated Jackson in February, fulfilling a campaign promise to nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court. https://n.pr/3yx01D4

In addition to denying pregnant people the right to bodily autonomy and privacy, the SCOTUS also rolled back labor protections, said concealed firearm permits are unconstitutional, and weakened Miranda rights.

We should mourn our losses - to privacy, to make our own medical decisions, to safety, to remain silent, and more - but we can't give up, because the terror doesn't end here. Without action, it will only get worse. Much worse.

Congratulations, Jakob and all the other Coro Fellows who graduated this week!

Congratulations!!!

Our 2021-2022 Coro Fellows in Public Affairs are graduating tonight. These 11 incredible leaders have spent the last 9 months in intentional, intersectional work across the region. We will miss their energy, laughter, and endless push to challenge the status quo. They will all go on to do great things!

No well regulated militia unscrupulously murders 21 people, including 19 children.

Grocery stores, churches, synagogues, concerts, night clubs, movie theaters, schools...where can we find safety?

Contact your Senators, especially Republicans, and demand changes, including increasing background check requirements for firearm purchases.

Republicans have opposed such measures in the past, and gave no indication that they had changed their positions.

The implications of this action, if the SCOTUS takes it, will harm millions of people nation-wide. At its core, Justice Alito says abortion is a state's right issue. While we believe the ONLY people who should be involved in the decision to end a pregnancy are the pregnant person, their doctor, and healthcare providers, we also believe in the power of state government.
Now, more than ever, it is important to show up and be active in local and state politics. Contact your state representative, knock on doors, phone and text bank, run for office.
If you are currently running for office, and need campaign help, shoot us an email at [email protected].

“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Justice Alito writes in an initial majority draft circulated inside the court.
