One year ago, thousands of Coloradans marched in a historic display of resistance. At the ACLU of Colorado we carried that spirit throughout the year, fighting on many fronts for civil liberties. We won’t stop now.
By canceling DACA, Trump has put 800,000 young people at risk of losing their jobs and being deported from the only country they know as home. Passing the bipartisan Dream Act would protect them. We asked four Dreamers why the Dream Act is important to them and their future.
James Fisher spoke at the ACLU of Colorado Bill of Rights Dinner about how he and the ACLU are working together to stop the criminalization of poverty for the thousands of Coloradans who are trapped in debtors’ prisons.
Our membership has quadrupled in the last six months, making it possible to do more than ever to protect civil rights and civil liberties in Colorado. Thank you to all our new members, supporters, and donors, and the ones who’ve been with us for years.

Women’s Reproductive Rights and the Hyde Amendment

Join us at the ACLU of Colorado office for an important discussion on women’s reproductive rights.

We’ll focus on the Hyde Amendment – a restriction using federal funds for women’s health care that has predominantly hurt the underprivileged.

The Hyde Amendment prohibits federal funds in Medicaid and other health programs from being used for abortions.

In these cases, poor women are denied access to abortion because they can’t afford it and are more likely to fall further into poverty.

During the event, we’ll screen a recent film highlighting the ban’s effect on the most vulnerable women in our communities.

Thursday, November 9^th, 6–8pm

ACLU of Colorado
303 East 17^th Avenue Suite 350
Denver, Colorado 80203

Light refreshments will be served.
