Denver, CO – Today Senator John Hickenlooper voted to block vital stimulus payments to undocumented immigrants. This was a direct slap in the face to the thousands of immigrants in Colorado working on the frontlines to keep our country running throughout the pandemic and we at CIRC Action Fund strongly condemn his vote.

When we started our campaign in July, our goals were clear: elect pro-immigrant rights champions into office on a federal, state and local level. We knew that in order to address the issues affecting the immigrant community — not just in Colorado, but across the nation — we had to organize a massive voter information outreach program targeting eligible voters from the Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) community.

With so much at stake in 2020, Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition (CIRC) Action Fund has worked tirelessly to reach Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPoC) voters across the state of Colorado in the 2020 Election Cycle. Our campaign started in July and quickly scaled to a 40 person team by October. We continue to phone-bank and textbank to voters about the power of their vote.

Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition and CIRC Action Fund have teamed up to provide voters a comprehensive ballot guide that highlights the initiatives we  support and oppose. Scheduled for this Wednesday at 6pm, join us on Facebook Live:

As of today, CIRC Action Fund has called and texted over half a million voters in Colorado, reminding them about the upcoming election and how important it is to use their voice and vote. By Election Day, we will have made over 1 million BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) voter contact attempts talking to folx about their plan to vote, and who we think will best represent them in office. With 36 days left until Nov 3, we are pumped to share our full list of endorsements for the 2020 Election Cycle.
