Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition (c3)
2024 Programs
In 2024, the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition (CIRC) is planning to lead a nonpartisan and partisan electoral program in Congressional District 8 and Congressional District 3, primarily in Adams, Arapahoe, Denver, El Paso, Jefferson, and Pueblo counties. We will target low-propensity BIPOC voters through door knocking, texts, and mailers.
Mission
Founded in 2002, CIRC (501(c)3) is a statewide membership-based organization that advocates for all immigrants in Colorado and the United States, regardless of legal status. Our 60+ member organizations lead our coalition and seek to uplift the voices of directly impacted immigrants to create change by and for our community. CIRC’s mission is to build community power through organizing and leadership development within immigrant communities, winning fair and humane public policies, providing legal services and educational workshops, and implementing nonpartisan civic engagement programs.
