(*) Were endorsed by COLOR AF during the State Primary Election.
A COLOR Action Fund endorsement is not given; it is earned by an elected official or candidate who has demonstrated their commitment to being more than an ally to this vision but a champion. Champions bring forward legislation, advocate vocally, and, most importantly, partner with us to ensure Colorado policy is as inclusive and representative as possible. That is Reproductive Justice.
Latinos represent over 20% of Colorado’s population and are the second-largest and fastest-growing voting block nationwide. Our community must be informed about this election and feel represented at all levels of government.
At a time when the future of abortion access is at stake, we call on RJ Champions and allies to be firm and unwavering in their conviction to build a future where Coloradans can lead safe, healthy, self-determined lives.
For any questions regarding COLOR AF’s endorsement, please contact Dusti Gurule, President and CEO at COLOR Action Fund, at dusti@colorlatina.org

COLOR Action Fund (COLOR AF) works to address the imbalance of Latine representation in the state legislature by creating the infrastructure to identify and support community leaders, increase Latine representation in elected office, build political influence, and reframe the narrative around our issues.
