ACLU of Colorado is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization guided by a mission to protect, defend, and extend the civil rights and civil liberties of all people in Colorado. As the oldest and largest civil rights organization in Colorado, its work is guided by the Bill of Rights, ensuring the freedoms contained within are available for members of marginalized communities, including people of color, LGBTQ+ people, women, immigrants, people experiencing poverty, unhoused people, incarcerated people, and students. ACLU of Colorado relies exclusively on generous donations from supporters to continue this important work. The organization began with a staff of two, an Executive Director and a part-time clerical assistant, and has become a team with more than two dozen staff, a $5.5 million budget, and many loyal volunteers. ACLU of Colorado believes-and works to ground all fundraising efforts-in racial equity and social justice.

ACLU of Colorado focuses on achieving transformational and systemic change that protects and expands civil rights and civil liberties by addressing the root causes of injustice. To accomplish this goal, ACLU of Colorado is continuing its organization-wide transition to integrated advocacy. This approach has three major prongs: (1) winning multi-year, issue-based integrated advocacy campaigns focused in core issue areas and that are powered by ACLU of Colorado's members and volunteers; (2) joining and building powerful coalitions and networks; and (3) educating and empowering the next generation of civil rights and civil liberties champions.

The organization's multi-disciplinary teams working as a unit on these core issue area campaigns include policy experts, campaigners, organizers, data analysts, litigators, communications experts, and development professionals. These integrated teams combine policy advocacy, organizing, public education, litigation, electoral engagement, communications strategies, and donor engagement as part of a cohesive plan to achieve audacious goals in partnership with local communities whose civil rights and liberties are under threat or that have never been fully realized.
ACLU of Colorado's Commitment to Equity, Diversity, Belonging, and Inclusion

It believes that having a board, staff, and volunteer base with diverse personal and professional backgrounds enhances its ability to meet its mission and creates an environment where all community members can thrive.
