As protests against police violence continue throughout Colorado and the country, we must begin holding the police accountable to the public. A bill introduced in the Colorado legislature, SB20-217: Enhance Law Enforcement Integrity, puts forward several important steps to police accountability such as mandating body cameras, requiring public reporting on policing, reining in the use of deadly force by officers, preventing the rehiring of violent and abusive officers, allowing for civil rights enforcement by individuals, and championing a model of humane defense of Colorado communities. Send an email to tell your legislator and Governor Polis to support the bill by filling out the form below. We encourage you to add your own language in support of the bill.
