Colorado state legislators make law after law with no private right of action, so there are useless if the AG won't act. For example HB19-1269 Mental Health Parity is violated every day by the states managed care set up for mental health while nothing like that exists for medical care.

It worked as intended. The constant threat of being blacklisted, losing employment, facing criminal charges and enduring relentless harassment caused the group’s ambitious plans to fall apart. Under immense pressure, the Sojourners for Truth and Justice were forced to dissolve by late 1952. /end
Louise Thompson Patterson, 1960. Patterson was the operational backbone, executive organizer and administrative engine of the Sojourners for Truth and Justice. After the initial Washington mobilization, the collective voted to establish a permanent national framework, appointing Patterson as the Executive Secretary. She took on the task of transforming a three-day protest into a sustained national movement. She traveled extensively to raise money and establish local Sojourners chapters. Because she was the administrative nerve center of the organization, the Department of Justice and the FBI subjected her to relentless surveillance. They eventually seized her passport to cut off her ability to connect with international leftist and anti-colonial organizations. However, Patterson never renounced her leftist commitments. She carried the same organizing blueprint into the 1970s, where she served as a leader in the successful international movement to Free Angela Davis.

The group formulated an early form of Black left feminism, blending anti-racist, anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist perspectives. They sought to expose state complicity and violence directed against Black Americans, pointing out the hypocrisy of the government promoting “democracy” abroad. /7
Shirley Graham Du Bois. Du Bois was the chief intellectual strategist and public voice of the Sojourners for Truth and Justice. While history frequently frames her through her marriage to W.E.B. Du Bois, she was a radical force in her own right, working as an accomplished opera composer, playwright and political theorist long before 1951. Alongside Louise Thompson Patterson, she conceptualized the organization as a radical defense front. She recognized that the government wasn’t just attacking an individual. It was attempting to decapitate Black radical leadership during the Red Scare. She leveraged her extensive network to bring together the 14 founders, framing her husband’s defense not as a private grievance, but as a collective fight for the survival of Black intellectual freedom. Because of her uncompromising leadership, Graham Du Bois was monitored by the FBI and blacklisted.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1951: The Sojourners for Truth and Justice begin a three-day assembly in Washington, D.C., with a march and silent vigil on the White House lawn. More than 132 Black women from 14 states arrived in the capital to demand federal action against racial terror. /1
Members of the Sojourners for Truth and Justice gather during their initial mobilization, Sept. 29 to Oct. 2, 1951. More than 132 African American women from 14 states descended on the nation’s capital to demand an end to racial violence, Jim Crow laws and the systemic oppression of Black women. While the poor quality of the photo makes it difficult to pinpoint every face from left to right, several core organizers and notable figures are prominent in the center-front cluster: Louise Thompson Patterson, Charlotta Bass, Shirley Graham Du Bois and Eslanda Goode Robeson. Other trailblazing figures who participated in the Washington, D.C., delegation included legendary activist Mary Church Terrell, journalist Claudia Jones and a young Lorraine Hansberry, who read the group’s manifesto aloud during the convention.

The DA should resign. Despite his attempts to hide it, this actually comes through even in his bullshit summary when you read it critically.
According to a transcript of the alleged victim's interview with campus
police, obtained by CBS New York's Mahsa Saeid from a source, Jane
Doe distinguished the initial sexual activity from what she says
happened later in the night.

She described drinking and using drugs the night of the alleged rape,
and said she had gaps in her memory, according to the transcript.

When asked whether she was OK with the initial encounter, she said,
"Yeah, as much as I can be because, again, I was super drunk when I
got there ... But I was pretty OK with all of this."

When describing what happened later in the night, the transcript says
Jane Doe said, "I can say with 100% confidence I was raped."
