724 signatures. 276 from the threshold that changes how legislators read this.

Here is what 724 signatures means right now.

It means a daughter in Aurora who reduced her hours by 20% to keep her mother out of a nursing facility has told Governor Polis, Attorney General Weiser, Senator Mullica, and Senator Bennet that she is watching the 2027 session. It means this petition has been active for over a year and is still growing.

276 more and the math changes completely.

Change.org's data is direct: petitions above 1,000 verified signatures are five times more likely to produce a legislative response. Not five percent. Five times. You are not 276 strangers away from that number. You are 276 shares away.

That is the ask -not another signature. You already gave that. What moves this petition is promotion. One share to your network produces four to five new signatures on average. You are not a signer anymore. You are a multiplier.

Here is what sits on the other side of 1,000.

$11 billion in unpaid caregiving labor holds Colorado's long-term care system together right now, today, without a single line of legal protection. The CARE Act would change that - at zero cost to the general fund, zero new appropriations, zero new taxes. The September 30 Senate sponsor deadline is the next gate. Every signature between now and that date is evidence that this bill has a constituency. Legislators sponsor movements, not ideas.

$11 billion of invisible labor. 276 signatures from the threshold where it stops being invisible to the people who write the laws.

Share this petition today. One person. One share.
