The ACLU of Colorado is the state's leading voice in defense of civil liberties and civil rights. The ACLU offers an excellent work environment in a spacious office in downtown Denver. Our expert staff and attorneys work with volunteers, fellows, and interns to protect and extend civil liberties in Colorado.
Accountable, with Integrity
We acknowledge ACLU’s proximity to power when working with partners and communities across Colorado. We uphold integrity — both internally and externally — as we advance our statewide mission.
Anti-Racist
We recognize that every community and issue that we address is affected by a legacy of structural and systemic racism. It is not enough for our organization to not be racist— we must be actively anti-racist. We will disrupt systemic racism and join people of color as partners in their resilient anti-racist work.
Committed to Equity
We are committed to creating and continuously re-evaluating internal and external systems, policies, and procedures that are rooted in equity to reflect the intersectional needs of all people.
Driven by Impact
We are committed to using integrated advocacy efforts to create sustainable change, evidenced through tangible, improved conditions for our communities.
Rooted in Community
We center impacted communities as connected partners with shared power.
