LWVCO has taken a stance AGAINST Amendment 81. It would change the CO Constitution to require state & local law enforcement to notify ICE within 72 hours after charging a Coloradan with certain crimes — before evidence is heard & before a court decision. Come learn more from this panel of experts.
Communities United Against Amendment 81, Sunday, October 4th, Plymouth Congregational Church, Fort Collins CO.  A panel discussion about the enormous negative impact this Amendment would have on our Colorado communities.  Co-Sponsored by the Larimer County League of Women Voters

Early voting is starting across the country. If you get a mail ballot, return it early—at a local drop box, if you can. If you don’t get a ballot, contact your election office ASAP. Have a back up plan. We filed the lawsuit—AND WON! Now it’s your turn. bit.ly/46tqIsD @lwv.org @lwvma.bsky.social
