Policy Advocacy
CLLARO advocates for legislation and policies at the Colorado Capitol to benefit lower income and vulnerable members of the Latino community. We normally advocate in coalition with other organizations that support our mission and values.
We review our public policy priorities on an ongoing basis. Last year our priorities addressed housing, education, health and safety, immigrant and workers’ rights, economic security, aging, civic engagement and equity for all Americans.
Advocacy at CLLARO often includes preparation of fact sheets for legislators. The following are two examples from the 2024 legislative session.
