Our initiatives are groups of like-minded Democrats who support specific constituencies within the party.
JeffCo Democratic Latino Initiative (JDLI)
Established in 2004, the Jefferson County Democratic Latino Initiative is one of five initiatives within the Jefferson County Democratic party. The mission of the JDLI is to ensure the significant participation of our diverse community at all levels within the Jefferson County Democratic party. We work to provide the Latino community with greater visibility and a clearer, stronger influence over our county affairs. We support political action that increases involvement and leadership of Latinos within the Democratic party. JDLI brings together our constituents to establish policy priorities that address and raise public awareness of the major issues affecting the Jefferson County Latino community and Latinos throughout Colorado. Check out our website for more information.
JeffCo Labor Advisory Committee (LAC)
The Labor Advisory Committee is committed to the aspirations and goals of the working families of Colorado. We help recruit candidates who reflect those values, educate candidates on labor issues, and advise our party and legislators of the consequences of bills on the legislative agenda. in addition, the Labor Advisory Committee sponsors the summer picnic each year to recognize a legislator who has shown strong leadership meeting the goals of working families with the Friend of Labor award.
We meet on the last Friday of every month at the JeffCo Democrats headquarters at 6:30 p.m and via Zoom. If you would like more information or to find out ways you can help the Labor Advisory Committee, please contact us at sheetmetal9@comcast.net.
JeffCo PRIDE LGBTQ+
The purpose of the PRIDE caucus is to provide a forum in which lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer citizens and their allies can discuss issues and advise the county party on matters of interest to the LGBTQ+ community. The caucus is an officially recognized initiative of the Jefferson County Democrats that exists to ensure equality for LGBTQ+ people in Jefferson county, the state of Colorado, and the United States.
If you believe people should be treated equally, you are already an important part of the caucus. Please join us at our next event. You can use the Jefferson County Democrats calendar to find events. Email office@jeffcodems.org to get more involved.
JeffCo Veterans Initiative (VETI)
The JeffCo Dems Veterans Initiative, or VETI, is a newly created Initiative within the Jefferson County Democratic Party. Our mission is to provide a strong voice and representation for Veterans, to promote the overall welfare of Veterans, and to encourage all Veterans and their families to support Democratic principles in Jefferson county. We firmly believe that Veterans of all services and their family members have the necessary leadership, discipline, and determination to provide our party with loyal, knowledgeable, and proven voices of advocacy on major issues facing Jefferson county.
