On Tuesday, Colorado voters delivered a historic victory for reproductive rights by passing Amendment 79, which enshrines and expands abortion access in Colorado’s constitution. This victory is a testament to the tireless work of COLOR Action Fund’s leaders and the unwavering support of Latine communities and allies across Colorado.

 

“Our community’s lives depend on reproductive justice. Voters made this clear by enshrining the fundamental right to abortion in our state constitution,” said Dusti Gurule, President and CEO of COLOR Action Fund. “Together with our incredible partners, including Voces Unidas Action Fund, we successfully collaborated to empower our communities, provide critical information, and ensure every voice was heard. By voting YES on Amendment 79, we’ve secured the right for all Coloradans to make our own decisions about our bodies and futures without government interference.”

 

COLOR Action Fund’s grassroots efforts, through its Abortion Access for All campaign, spent more than half a million dollars to reach over 350,000 voters across the state, with a focus on mobilizing Latine and other underrepresented communities. The success of Amendment 79 ensures that Colorado remains a national leader in reproductive rights and reproductive justice. We’re well aware of the barriers that remain for marginalized communities and people of color to abortion access. COLOR AF will continue to work with our partners to implement coverage and carry through the will of the voters to expand access to abortion care for all in our state.
