The ACLU of Colorado launched We Are the Vote, a multi-year effort to remove barriers to voter participation for historically disenfranchised voters, justice-impacted voters, and young voters in Colorado because the state has a fundamental problem — some voices are being heard much louder than others.
We believe Colorado can become the most just and equitable state in the country. A state where civil rights and liberties are not only protected, but also a state united by a shared commitment to creating a thriving democracy that continually expands the definitions and protections of liberty and freedom.
ACLU of Colorado can help our state reach this goal if we act proactively and marshal our combined strengths to overcome unprecedented threats to our democracy. Future generations of Colorado children and families depend on it.

Sustainable and systemic social justice depends on all Colorado communities having equitable representation. Only when every person has a seat at the table will we have the input necessary for effective action to secure civil liberties for all. This qualitative data can only be provided by those with the lived experience of having their civil liberties routinely violated. Thus, it is essential that we create a vehicle for Coloradans to determine the issues that need to be addressed in their communities. To this end, the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado (ACLU of Colorado) launched Expanding the Table for Justice (ETFJ) in order to build partnerships and find resolutions.
