Court Cases

The ACLU of Colorado sued the Elizabeth School District because it banned and removed at least 19 books from school libraries based on the school board’s disagreement with the ideas they contain. The plaintiffs include students who have a right to access those books...

The ACLU of Colorado filed a lawsuit challenging Boulder’s ordinance that criminalizes the city’s unhoused residents by making it a crime to sleep outside with a blanket.

This case concerns the Colorado Springs Police Department’s use of unconstitutional warrants to comb through activists’ digital data in retaliation for their political speech and association.

We urge the CO Court of Appeals to not make it harder to sue the government over violations of the CO Open Meetings Law.
