Sexual harassment should not be the price women pay for choosing to serve their communities. I will continue to use my voice to demand a world where women don't have to live with misogyny and threats. To all women facing this, I see you and I will always stand with you.

With dangerous measures like Proposition 132 which criminalize addiction on the ballot this year, it is more important than ever to provide the treatment that our neighbors need. Avenues Recovery Center here in Fort Collins provides that crucial treatment, covered by private insurance and Medicaid.

Workers keep spending time and energy asking democrats to hold the line. Asking us to not make their lives harder. Its time we do better. This session Democrats need to prove why they are the party of the working class.

Public schools in Colorado are chronically underfunded, but Prop NN on our ballot this year can change that. Make sure to vote YES on Prop NN this November 🏫

Billion-dollar gaming companies are targeting our kids to make huge profits, all while putting their safety at risk. Last session I introduced two bills to keep kids safe. Lets hope next session the Governor signs them.

Regulating AI is always a much more difficult fight than it should be. Here I am in 2025 presenting an amendment to remove a liability waiver for AI companies. That amendment failed. If we want to protect Coloradans, we need the political courage to stand up to big tech.

Six months into the war in Iran, death tolls abroad and prices at home continue to climb with no end in sight.

Thousands of students across Colorado walked out of their classes today to protest the cruelty and brutality of ICE. I am so proud of the young leaders who came together in organized resistance to make this happen. Abolish ICE.

The Graduated Income Tax (GIT) is officially on the ballot! 🙌🏽🗳🎉 Colorado's deeply unequal flat tax system has struggling single moms paying the same tax rate as billionaires. This November, we have the chance to make the wealthy pay their fair share. Let's GIT it done!

Rep. Yara Zokaie @repyara.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

SB26-120 is now in effect. It standardizes responses upon report of a missing student and responds to our community’s tragic losses of Megan Trussell and Kaylee Russell. I am moved by their families’ commitment to turn their pain into purpose.

On Colorado's 150 birthday, I had the honor of re-dedicating the Women's Gold Tapestry, originally created in 1976 to celebrate Colorado's trailblazing women. I took the opportunity to not only reflect on the achievements of these trailblazers, but also those of the women whose names are unknown.

Soon to be Congressman Brad Lander and I are urging Congress to investigate the bombing of an elementary school in Minab, Iran. We cannot let the murder of over 120 innocent children go without accountability.

In a country where billionaires write the rules, the American Dream belongs only to those with the means to afford it. For the last two years, I have organized with working people to make the American Dream belong to all Coloradans. I hope you'll join us.

Colorado keeps facing painful cuts to education, healthcare, and food for hungry kids. The most powerful corporations in the state want us to think theres nothing we can do. But that isn't true. We 👏🏽 can 👏🏽 tax 👏🏽 them 👏🏽 The stakes have never been higher. Get involved: protectcoloradosfuture.com

On Wednesday I urged Hudson's Town Council to block the opening of a new ICE detention center within city limits. Our state must act to empower local communities like Hudson to block the opening of these centers which facilitate unimaginable cruelty and extremism.

Jared Polis is one of the wealthiest individuals in Colorado, so it's no surprise that he is scared of Democratic Socialists who want to make him pay his fair share.

SB-005 is the most important bill I passed this year. This bill creates a state cause of action which allows us to hold federal officials (like 🧊) accountable for violating constitutional rights. Unfortunately, Gov. Polis has threatened to veto this bill. Wish me luck as I meet w/the governor 🥲🤞🏽

041

Rep. Yara Zokaie @repyara.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

Gov. Polis just let me know he is going to veto my bill to make arbitration more fair. Arbitration is a system that is abused by bad actors to take advantage of consumers and workers and this bill was an important step forward.

HB26-1045 is now law!🎉 Last month, the Trump administration stripped protections for disabled tenants, making them choose between losing their assistance animals or losing their housing. House Bill 1045 establishes the strongest protections in the country for disabled tenants.🐶🐱

Rep. Yara Zokaie @repyara.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

We must do everything in our power to protect from Donald Trump's extremism and cruelty. HB26-1276 tightens state regulations on immigration detention centers and imposes significant fines if they violate health and environmental safety. Governor Polis must sign it.

Rep. Yara Zokaie @repyara.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

We have an obligation to dismantle unjust systems. We do that through building organized power and supporting unions for everyone.

Governor Polis commuted Tina Peters' sentence while thousands of parole-eligible Coloradans are stuck behind bars. Our current prison population management tools are not working. I was proud to sponsor SB36 to address this crisis. This bill is awaiting the governor's signature.

032

Rep. Yara Zokaie @repyara.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

If our governor is so worried about prison population management, I have a bill he can sign. A lighter sentence for Tina Peters just gives a green light to the Trump administration to further attack our democracy.

On the last day of session, we're here to let you know what legislators really mean.

This legislative session, we once against recognized Nowruz. Of course, this year felt different.

Rep. Yara Zokaie @repyara.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

The No Kings Act was defeated yesterday in committee. Senate Bill 176 would have allowed Coloradans to sue federal officials for violating their constitutional rights. As Democrats, we talk a lot about standing up to Trump. This was our chance.

Rep. Yara Zokaie @repyara.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

In missing persons cases, it is imperative that all institutions operate swiftly and purposefully to ensure community safety, but instead we’ve seen procedural confusion and jurisdictional conflicts. SB120 updates missing persons reporting requirements to add clarity and quicken response times.

Horrific stories of medical neglect in immigration detention centers are not unusual. Children are being locked in isolation, denied proper sleep and food, and blocked from healthcare. I was proud to support the Protecting Colorado Families Act, which mandates basic health and safety standards.

20 days left of session and still *a lot* to do ✅️ While I'm still mourning the loss of bills that were my babies 😭 we have many more to get to the gov in the next few weeks! Any bills not over the finish line by sine die (day 120) are dead 💀 ... so wish us luck!

Rep. Yara Zokaie @repyara.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

I'm saddened that the CO House advanced SB26-121, raising the overtime threshold for farmworkers to 56 hours. When we target farmworkers as the only Coloradans that need to work more than 40 hours to receive overtime pay, we're sending them a message that we value their time less than other workers.

My first picket with JBS workers was in 2020 when management refused to protect them from COVID-19. 6 years later, it's unacceptable that JBS continues to prioritize profit over safety. With management returning to the table, I hope they listen to workers' demands for safety, dignity, and respect.

Happy Farm Workers Day, formerly known as Cesar Chavez Day. I am proud of the legislature for acting quickly to ensure that this day no longer celebrates a rapist, but rather centers the everyday laborers who made up the farm workers movement.

Thank you to the families who shared their stories and turned their grief into action. When an adult is reported missing, their family should never be told to just wait. Reporting systems must be simplified and higher ed institutions must promptly report missing persons to law enforcement.
