Labor Day is more than a long weekend. It is the one holiday on our calendar dedicated to the people who build, teach, care, serve, repair, drive, cook, stock, protect, and keep our communities going.
Tomorrow morning, Trinidad will come together to honor that spirit in one of the most meaningful ways a community can: by showing up in public, walking side by side, and celebrating the dignity of work.
The Las Animas County Democrats and HD47 candidate Vic Meyers invite friends, neighbors, families, and supporters to join them in the Labor Day Parade in Trinidad. The parade begins at 9 AM and will walk through downtown Trinidad.
It is a chance to celebrate workers, support local Democratic candidates, and remind our community that politics starts right here at home, with people who care enough to show up.
Labor Day belongs to workers
Labor Day has a special meaning because it honors the working people who make every community possible. It recognizes the hands, minds, time, and care that keep families fed, schools running, roads open, hospitals staffed, homes safe, and small businesses alive.
For Democrats, that message is not seasonal. It is central to who we are.
We are the party of “we the people”, and that means standing up for workers’ rights, fair wages, safe workplaces, the right to organize, and respect for every person who puts in an honest day’s work. Labor Day gives us a public moment to say those values out loud.
In Las Animas County, those values are not abstract. They show up in the lives of miners, teachers, nurses, public employees, ranch hands, construction workers, service workers, small business owners, retirees, and families doing their best in changing times.
When Democrats walk in the parade, they are not just carrying signs or riding on a float. They are carrying a message:
Workers deserve respect.
Local voices matter.
Community is stronger when people stand together.
Democracy works best when neighbors participate.
That is why tomorrow’s parade matters.
Trinidad’s parade is about community pride
Downtown Trinidad has always been more than a place to pass through. It is where people gather, celebrate, remember, organize, and reconnect. A Labor Day parade through downtown is a reminder that community is made in person.
There is something powerful about seeing neighbors line the route, kids waving from the sidewalk, familiar faces calling out hello, and local groups showing what they stand for. These moments build trust. They remind people that public life belongs to everyone.
Marching with the Democratic float is a simple but meaningful way to be part of that public life. It says that Las Animas County Democrats are present, active, and proud to stand with working families.
It also gives people a chance to meet others who share the same values. Sometimes that first step is as easy as walking a few blocks together on a holiday morning.
Supporting Vic Meyers means supporting local representation
Local candidates carry local stories. They know the roads people drive, the schools families depend on, the hospitals and clinics people worry about, and the jobs that shape daily life. That is why showing up for local candidates matters.
HD47 candidate Vic Meyers will be part of tomorrow’s Labor Day Parade, and supporters are encouraged to walk alongside him. This is an opportunity to show that local Democratic candidates have community support behind them.
Campaigns are not built only through speeches, mailers, or yard signs. They are built through conversations, handshakes, and shared moments. A parade is one of those moments.
When people see neighbors walking with a candidate, it sends a clear message. It shows that this campaign is connected to real people and real concerns. It shows that Democrats are organized, visible, and ready to stand up for Southern Colorado communities.
Supporting candidates like Vic Meyers also helps strengthen the Democratic presence across the region. It reminds voters that local races deserve attention, energy, and participation.
Every person who joins the parade adds to that message.

You do not need to be an experienced volunteer to take part. You only need to show up and be willing to walk with your community.
Showing up is how movements grow
Strong communities do not happen by accident. They grow when people take time to participate. They grow when volunteers make phone calls, candidates listen to neighbors, families attend local events, and supporters proudly stand together in public.
Tomorrow’s Labor Day Parade is one of those chances.
It is a chance to honor workers. It is a chance to celebrate Trinidad. It is a chance to support Las Animas County Democrats. It is a chance to walk with Vic Meyers and show that local Democratic candidates have people behind them.
Most of all, it is a chance to remember that democracy is not far away. It is right here, in our streets, among our neighbors.
Tomorrow morning, come walk through downtown Trinidad with the Las Animas County Democrats and HD47 candidate Vic Meyers. Bring your energy, bring your community pride, and help show the importance of standing up for workers and supporting local candidates. The parade starts at 9 AM. See you there.
