With only one step before this bill becomes law, we want to thank our sponsors, President Coleman, AML Bacon, Rep. English, and Senator Exum, for championing this bill on behalf of the Black Caucus to pass both chambers. Now we look forward to Governor Polis enshrining this Right!

Update on HB25-1013: We have passed out of the Senate State, Military, and Veterans Affairs Committee! Thank you to everyone who took time out to stay late night to testify & thank you to President Coleman and Senator Exum for leading the charge as we move on to the Senate floor.

For the second time in a year, the Colorado House passed a bill Wednesday that would prohibit the use of algorithms that, critics and investigators allege, have been used to hike up apartment rents in Denver and across the country.

We thank our bill sponsors and the other representatives who voted in favor of keeping families and communities connected. On to the Senate!

Colorado Friends and Family! We still have time to support the passage of HB25-1013 Right to Family and Community Connection. You can call and email your state reps and senators to support the passage of this much-needed bill.

Hello Bluesky World!

HB25-1013, Right to Family and Community Connection, would enshrine the right to visitation for people incarcerated in Colorado prisons. Currently, visitation is considered a privilege and is used as a tool for punishment, including for failure to work.
