Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈���️‍⚧️

No matter who you are, how you identify, or who you love, we'll keep fighting to make sure you belong.

Today, SB22-099, also known as the Clean Slate Act was signed into law by @govofco!

This bipartisan bill is a big step towards rebuilding CO's workforce. A burdensome process will NOT stand in the way of Coloradans finding work to support themselves and their families. #coleg

BREAKING: We filed a lawsuit on behalf of unhoused Boulder residents, taxpayers, and @feetforwardboco challenging camping bans that prohibit the use of blankets, tents, and any cover other than clothing, no matter the weather conditions.

I had a powerful conversation with @RevDrBarber in which he said the mule kicks hardest before it dies. These times may feel relentless and overwhelming. Many of our rights and our humanity are under attack, but don’t stop fighting!

[Deborah Richardson @DRichardsonACLU]

An absolutely incredible being! Mark’s work has moved us further along the continuum of  “closing the gap between the America that was promised and the America that is.”

[ACLU of Colorado @ACLUofColorado]

After 31 years serving the ACLU, our Legal Director Mark Silverstein is announcing his retirement.

We remain enormously grateful for his work in advancing civil rights & civil liberties for all Coloradans.

George Floyd was murdered by police two years ago today.

Justice for George Floyd would be him at home with his family.

Justice for George Floyd would be a system that does not wage acts of deadly violence against Black and Brown communities.

George Floyd deserved justice.

[ACLU @ACLU]

Having these words on paper will not be enough.

The entire culture and mentality of policing must drastically shift in order to create meaningful changes. https://t.co/wBVAtu7Iuq

We have to channel our collective rage into political action.

[Deborah Richardson @DRichardsonACLU]

From yesterday’s prayer vigil for the Buffalo community:

Another act of racial terrorism perpetuated by a white domestic terrorist, is another deep slash in the soul and psyche of Black people everywhere.

My moment of solace was that I was in the presence of my communities.

[Deborah Richardson @DRichardsonACLU]

Suppressing the vote, ending reproductive rights, banning books, etc. are coordinated strategies for the ‘Great Replacement.’ Our purpose must be to end it- through Action and Challenge and for the Love and Unity of our communities.

[Deborah Richardson @DRichardsonACLU]

The fact that we’re still offering only thoughts and prayers, is an indicator that the USA continues not to have the public nor political will to end the slaughter.

[Deborah Richardson @DRichardsonACLU]

There are moments of hope, but we can’t allow ourselves to believe that we’ve now moved on from our violent history of harm and killing of Black people. We still have work to do.

[ACLU of Colorado @ACLUofColorado]

Our hearts are with the loved ones of the 10 people murdered in Buffalo, NY in a brutal act of white supremacist violence. Join Black-led organizations for a vigil today at the State Capitol at 2pm.

[Portia Prescott @PortiaColorado]

Happening in one hour at 2pm MST! Get to the Colorado Capitol & share in the support of the victims & families of the Buffalo lynching. 🙏🏽 #BuffaloStrong

Las political de drogas punitivas son injustas y peligrosas para las familias y comunidades de Colorado- especialmente las comunidades de color. Juntos, debemos abordar esta crisis de salud pública con enfoques efectivos y basados en evidencia

[Deborah Richardson @DRichardsonACLU]

Punitive drug policies are unjust, counterproductive, and dangerous for Colorado families and communities- especially for communities of color.

Together, we must address this public health crisis with the effective, evidence-based approaches!

[ACLU of Colorado @ACLUofColorado]

As Colorado lawmakers move to refelonize fentanyl possession, one thing is certain: it will hit communities of color the hardest.

Our Executive Director @DRichardsonACLU speaks on this new chapter in the failed War on Drugs.

Today we bring awareness to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, Two-Spirit and Trans relatives crisis- historically, this violence has been under recorded by both the media and justice system
