Sign up for ACLU of Colorado Updates

In this newsletter, you’ll hear from our new executive director Olivia Mendoza, read about our recent legal victories, and learn about our latest litigation to protect Colorado voters and the rights of children in detention centers. You’ll also learn about our work at the legislature this session, this year’s lobby day, and our efforts to rein in automatic license plate reader cameras.

"We are deeply disappointed by this decision. This is a devastating, though hopefully only temporary, blow to the promise of the Colorado Constitution, to the rights of our unhoused neighbors, and to the lives and safety of everyone at risk of homelessness — which can happen to anyone."

ACLU of Colorado and Colorado Freedom Fund (CFF) sent a letter to municipal councils following a recent Colorado Supreme Court decision that determined local sentences harsher than those outlined in state law for the same conduct are illegal and unenforceable.
