Current Focus 1:
Noncitizen Rights in Boulder County
In 2019, we studied ways in which the rights of noncitizens in Boulder County might be extended.
Our informational materials are in the
Boulder County Voter
issues for June-July, August, and September 2019
.
In November 2016 we led two Community Conversations on
the rights of non-U.S. citizens in six areas:
a brief history of noncitizen rights in the U.S., employment rights, public benefits, voting and related
areas (e.g., jury service), education and mobility (e.g., drivers licenses)
.
Here are our findings
(PDF, 10 p.).
Here is the PDF version
of our slide show.
Current Focus 2:
Making Democracy Work
We are working in collaboration with Boulder County social service organizations and our own
Voter Services
team to increase
registration
and
voting
among underserved populations, to ensure voter participation by people at
every
economic level.
Current Focus 3:
Living Wage
We support a living wage for all Boulder County residents.

.
We helped secure a living wage for city of Boulder employees and are now working for the same in Longmont. Read more about our effort
here
. We also invite you to
add your name
to the list of supporters.
Colorado state law prohibits local governments from setting a minimum wage higher than the state minimum—except for the local government's own employees. We supported
HB 19-1210
, now law, which
repeals
that prohibition.
