Busy day at the Capitol today. COPA’s Julian joined the All Families Deserve a Chance (AFDC) Lobby Day to advocate for policies that support Colorado families. #economicjustice#coleg

It was a busy day at the Capitol yesterday. Shoutout to Julian & Isaiah who represented as Lobby Leads at @ACLUofColorado's Lobby Day! They advocated for the Colorado Voting Rights Act and against HB25-1146 (juvenile detention bed increase). Civic engagement at its finest. #COleg
DEFEATED! After 6 hours of testimony, including COPA Community Organizer Lamine's powerful words, SB25-047 (CO's new "show me your papers" anti-immigrant bill) died in committee! Community showed up, spoke up, and won. This is what democracy looks like. #COleg
