Kyra deGruy Kennedy (she/hers) has over a decade of experience in policy change and progressive organizing. Her passion for creating a better future for her daughter Lennon, and all children, drives her to keep fighting for progress, even as our political landscape becomes more polarized.

Kyra has played a critical role in the passage of more than 50 state policies. Notably, she worked on the bill that established the right to abortion in Colorado, over 25 bills improving our health and social service systems, legislation that prevents dangerous individuals from keeping firearms, and over 20 bills improving our public education system. Kyra has supported the successful passage of several ballot initiatives, including funding for her county's public school system, and has provided mentorship to nearly 100 young individuals seeking to channel their lived experience into positive change. She is the Principal and Founder of Ahimsa Consulting, dedicated to health and human service system redesign, where she is working to connect disparate programs, funding streams, and departments across the state to improve access and affordability to care.

When she’s not spending her time fighting to build a better future, she can be found in nature with her husband and daughter, or gardening in their suburban farm.

Sarah Staron (she/hers) was born and raised in Arizona. She moved to Colorado in 2018 to pursue her Master’s in Public Administration with a concentration in Gender-based Violence at CU Denver. Her "why", or personal mission statement, is to be a source of compassion for herself and her community, and she is thrilled to be working with a movement that mirrors this core purpose. She spent the past three years working in health equity policy at the Colorado Capitol, and also brings experience in trauma-informed programming, nonprofit management, systems development, and community organizing. Last but certainly not least, she is an avid color-coder and a huge fan of rainbow.
