Tell senate HOLDOUTS: It’s time to transform public safety in Colorado
Mass incarceration and Racialized policing are destroying lives and families in Colorado. SB21-273 limits police interaction with our most vulnerable neighbors, and ensures that jail beds are reserved for people who do pose a risk, rather than people experiencing poverty.
Conservatives and law enforcement are fearmongering and misrepresenting the bill. Tell them to stand against lies and with their community.

Hello [THEIR NAME], my name is [YOUR NAME] and I am a constituent from Colorado.
I am calling to urge you to join the rest of the Senate Democrats and support SB21-273 WITH NO FURTHER AMENDMENTS. In 2020, Colorado Democratic legislators promised SB217 was just the first step in addressing systemic racism and injustice. SB273 is the next step.
Conservatives and law enforcement are fear-mongering and misrepresenting SB273. Please stand against the lies and stand with your community in supporting this important bill.
We must change the culture of policing and incarceration that has permanently disabled Coloradans like Karen Garner and killed Elijah McClain, Reverend Marvin Booker, Michael Marshall, Jerid Thistle, and so many others.
I hope you will uphold the values that Democratic voters expect of our legislators.

Democratic leadership must hear that the community has a right to decide what “protect and serve” means, not police. Colorado ranks 6th in the U.S. for rate of police killings, and 5th in the rate of police killings of Black people. Over half of the people in Colorado jails are there simply because they are too poor to pay their money bond.
To make sure your email is read, please write a unique subject line and a few unique sentences about your concerns.
