Our hearts are with our Boulder County community today, especially those directly affected by the Marshall Fire. While details are still emerging, we know that the devastation is unimaginable, yet real for so many families in Superior, Louisville and Boulder County. The needs in our community as a result of this fire are great.

That’s where our organization comes in.

The Boulder County Democratic Party has deep connections with our community, as well as human capacity to help. Party leadership is currently reaching out to assess needs and will be communicating ways to help over the next several weeks.

Today, we want to connect our members with vetted organizations who are accepting donations that will fund direct aid to fire victims.
