Led from our satellite office in Denver, Voces Unidas de las Montañas and Voces Unidas Action Fund work directly with state and federal policymakers to ensure that current and future policies address our needs and wants as a community. Voces Unidas Action Fund has year-round presence in Denver to lobby for progressive legislation and monitor policy implementation.
