Our Commitment to Justice
COLOR has cultivated a reputation as an essential leader and partner within Colorado’s state-level policy ecosystem. We have become the go-to organization for state decision-makers regarding reproductive justice, namely reproductive health policies, abortion rights, economic inequalities, and other critical issues impacting our community.
We work to address the harmful and inequitable impacts that systemic barriers create for individuals due to their immigration status, economic situation, faith, race, gender, age, physical abilities, sexual orientation, or gender identity. In coalition with other advocates and elected officials, we work with our community to identify policy solutions that enable all of us to live safe, healthy, and self-determined lives.
Colorado Latino Agenda
To keep the community’s voice at the center of policy and accountability, we shape our priorities through close collaboration with community members and insights from our annual Colorado Latino Policy Agenda—the largest survey of Latine voters in the state.
The Colorado Latino Agenda (CLA) is an umbrella initiative over a comprehensive set of related programs co-run by COLOR and our close partner, Voces Unidas. The CLA comprises statewide public research and advocacy initiatives that publish relevant and timely data and in-depth reports about Latinos in Colorado, utilizing the findings as an organizing and advocacy tool.
The CLA currently consists of the annual Colorado Latino Policy Agenda poll (CLPA), the biannual Colorado Latino Exit Poll (CLEP), the annual state Latino Advocacy Day and National Latino Advocacy Day (LAD). The CLA seeks to empower communities to strategically inform and align stakeholders and decision-makers around demographics, pressing issues, and policy priorities for the Latine population in Colorado.
