ACLU data estimates that while Colorado still ranks among the highest in registered voter turnout, an estimated 560,000 young people and 530,000 Black and Latinx people are eligible to vote but historically have not done so in Colorado's midterm elections. However, a new groundbreaking statewide poll – implemented by the African American Research Collaborative (AARC) on behalf of ACLU Colorado – shows Coloradoans have faith in our state and believe in voting for making change.

Purple Cliffs serves as a shelter for more than 100 Durango residents experiencing homelessness. However, La Plata County plans to move forward with its self-imposed deadline of September 30, 2022, to shut down Purple Cliffs even though it has failed to secure the alternative site it promised for the unhoused residents it will displace.

On September 27, ACLU of Colorado and the National Homelessness Law Center sent a letter to multiple Durango lawmakers cautioning against following through on the arbitrary deadline to close down the community.
