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.

Durango City leaders profess compassion toward people experiencing homelessness and a desire to “solve homelessness” in the City. City representatives have intimated that they do not wish to make homelessness itself a criminal status, but only to enforce criminal laws when behavior by unhoused people threatens the safety and welfare of the community as a whole. Yet, an analysis of twelve months of citations issued by Durango police for violations of the City’s ordinance banning camping in the city limits tells a starkly different story. Rather than policing harmful, criminal behavior, the Durango police are prohibiting unhoused people from simply sleeping in city limits.
