The State Senate Judiciary Committee just voted to weaken protections for Coloradans who have been discriminated against and make it harder to file a claim and seek justice through the Colorado Civil Rights Division.
Contact your state senator now and ask them to pass the House version of the bill to ensure a clean reauthorization of the Colorado Civil Rights Division and Commission.
The House passed a bipartisan bill that is a clean reauthorization of the Division, ensuring it will protect Coloradans’ civil rights as it has for decades. But this afternoon, Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee added amendments that would not only make it more difficult for Coloradans who have been discriminated against to seek justice, but would weaken protections for Coloradans who have been discriminated against.
These amendments are solutions in search of problems. CLICK HERE to contact your state senator and ask them to vote for a clean reauthorization of the Colorado Civil Rights Division.
Protecting the civil rights of every Coloradan across the state should not be a political issue. We need to make sure the members of the State Senate know that these amendments don’t belong in this bill, and that they should pass a clean reauthorization of the CCRD that doesn’t include these amendments.
Click here and contact your state senator today to ask them to remove these amendments and pass a clean reauthorization of the Colorado Civil Rights Division.
PS: Once you're done emailing your state senator, share our statement on the weakening of the Colorado Civil Rights Division on Facebook.
