COLORADO IMMIGRANTS RIGHT COALITION AND PARTNER ORGANIZATION, CIRC ACTION FUND, TO HOST AN INTERACTIVE BALLOT GUIDE NIGHT
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: https://www.facebook.com/events/664570091120916/
Almost two weeks since ballots have been mailed out to Coloradans, 924,735 have already been returned, underlining how important this election is for people across the state. There are many initiatives that can positively affect our communities across the state. On the flip side, some measures on the ballot would cause further harm on Black, Indigenous, People of Color and low socio-economic backgrounds. The main goal is to inform voters and steer clear of perpetuating even more misinformation during this extremely consequential election.
CIRC and CIRC Action Fund are banding together with COLOR, Padres y Jóvenes Unidos, and Colorado Families First, to provide viewers more comprehensive information about initiatives. Audience members are encouraged to have their ballot nearby to really dig into the language of the ballot and join the conversation during our open question and answer section.
“We want voters to be informed and vote accordingly to what is best for themselves and their loved ones. This election can determine prosperity and safety for ourselves and for future generations. We are definitely at a tipping point where things must change and we see this election as a step towards a more just society.” – Ian Pham, CIRC Action Fund
