BALLOT MEASURES

Requires local police to report undocumented immigrants to ICE, even before a court has decided if that person is guilty or not.

Amendment 81 would increase racial profiling and give law enforcement and ICE significantly more power to cause harm in our communities. Many Coloradans would be targeted by ICE under this measure without due process.

An intentionally misleading measure that locks in a permanent new “right” for corporate polluters to overturn our rules that limit toxic water pollution and methane gas fracking near our homes and schools.

Amendment 82 would increase energy costs and pollution, and would make it harder for Colorado to hold big polluters accountable. This measure gives polluters the legal power to overturn rules meant to protect our health, water, and environment.

Requires all voters to publicize their Social Security number or driver's license on the outside of their mail ballot in order for their vote to count.

Amendment 84 would add barriers to voting and require voters to put sensitive identifying information on the outside of their ballot envelope. If the information is missing or does not match, their vote would not count. Colorado already has safe and secure voting systems.

Requires ballot measure language to be written at an 8th-grade level and removes key information from initiative language on your ballot, making it harder to know what you are voting on.

Amendment 85 is put on by wealthy interest groups to purposely leave out important information from ballot measures. If passed, there will be no more tables showing fiscal impact or additional information on how a ballot measure would impact you.

Changes the constitution to require additional steps for any mid-decade redistricting process.

Amendment 86 is backed by right-wing interests and changes congressional redistricting rules to benefit conservative districts. This measure would also restrict what Colorado could do if circumstances ever required new congressional maps before the next census.

Significantly increases mandatory prison sentences to 8-32 years for possessing any amount of fentanyl, even if you are unaware fentanyl was present.

Proposition 132 significantly impacts young people. If you took a pill with fentanyl in it without knowing, you will be served a minimum of 8 years. Judges will not be able to give you a lesser sentence for a mistake.

Exploits the tragedy of human trafficking to push for extreme mandatory punishments that could be applied to trafficking victims.

Backed by right-wing interest groups, Proposition 133 puts sex-trafficking victims at risk of spending life in prison because this measure treats victims the same as their traffickers. Legitimate anti-trafficking organizations such as The National Survivor Network also oppose this measure.

Mandates excluding trans kids from school sports from a young age, and requires all schools to conduct invasive gender checks.

Proposition 134 mandates that all Colorado schools adopt invasive gender-check policies to determine which students can play sports, from kindergarten through college. It gives politicians far too much power over decisions that belong with families, schools, and coaches.

Restricts parents' access to age-appropriate, gender-affirming healthcare for their own children, putting politicians in the middle of private healthcare decisions that should be made by parents and their trusted medical providers.

Parents, doctors, and mental health professionals should have the freedom to decide what care is best for each child. This measure could also restrict medically necessary care for serious health conditions that affect many kids, not just transgender youth.

Caps income taxes at 4.4 percent for individuals and corporations, which will prevent Colorado from taxing big corporations and the richest 3% their fair share.

Backed by corporate interests and the wealthiest 3% of Coloradans, Proposition 136 was put on the ballot to oppose and block Amendment 87. Giant corporations and the wealthy should not pay the same income tax rate as people earning $50,000 a year.
