Today was the 2nd of CDOC’s Town Halls on Visitation. We’re proud that visitation is now a Right — not a ‘privilege’ — in Colorado law. And we’ll continue to engage in the implementation process… As we continue to strive for accountability and transparency for all #EndSlaveryColorado

With only one step before this bill becomes law, we want to thank our sponsors, President Coleman, AML Bacon, Rep. English, and Senator Exum, for championing this bill on behalf of the Black Caucus to pass both chambers. Now we look forward to Governor Polis enshrining this Right! #R2FCC

​On this May Day, we honor all workers, especially those incarcerated, who continue to face forced labor and retaliation despite Colorado's constitutional ban.(HB 25-1013) aims to end this injustice by guaranteeing the right to family visitation, regardless of work participation. #EndSlaveryColorado

Update on HB25-1013: We have passed out of the Senate State, Military, and Veterans Affairs Committee! Thank you to everyone who took time out to stay late night to testify & thank you to President Coleman and Senator Exum for leading the charge as we move on to the Senate floor.

For the second time in a year, the Colorado House passed a bill Wednesday that would prohibit the use of algorithms that, critics and investigators allege, have been used to hike up apartment rents in Denver and across the country.
