It’s painfully clear: the Trump administration thinks it’s above the law. We’ve watched cruelty become policy, chaos masquerade as leadership, and power exercised without accountability.
And still, women have stood up. This moment calls for more of us to be brave.
This International Women's Day, let's be brave together. Join the Brave Women Weekend of Action, to demonstrate our collective power to resist, to show the impact of our noncompliance and our will to build a better world.

Governor Polis recently characterized former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters’ sentence, handed down by a Mesa County jury, as 'harsh', compared it to the sentence of another elected official, and indicated that he will be reviewing it for possible commutation.

The League of Women Voters of Colorado (LWVCO) believes unequivocally in representative government and in the fundamental liberties enshrined in the United States Constitution. With that conviction, we believe that Gov. Polis should respect Colorado’s judicial process by upholding accountability for a rogue official who was unanimously convicted by a jury of her peers and who is now rightfully serving her sentence in a state correctional facility.

Modeled after the Declaration of Independence, the Declaration of Sentiments made an argument for equality by rewriting the idea that “all men are created equal,” to insisting that all men and women are created equal. The Declaration defined 16 grievances relating to voting, civil independence, leadership, and economic injustice. Women’s inability to vote topped the list of complaints, and became the cornerstone of the women’s rights movement for over seven decades. The Declaration’s wider demands have echoed for more than 175 years.
