Voces Unidas Action Fund is proud to endorse U.S. Senator Michael Bennet for governor of Colorado. Bennet earned our endorsement because of his consistent engagement with rural Latinos on the Western Slope. He shows up, he listens, and he partners with our communities. Over the past five years, he has met with Voces Unidas staff and rural Latino leaders more often than any other public official – in our communities, on park benches during COVID, and when we travel to Washingt

The Supreme Court heard arguments this week on whether a president can deny citizenship to children born in the United States based on their parents’ immigration status. The case centers on a Trump executive order that attempts to narrow who qualifies as American at birth. The Constitution is clear. The 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to people born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction. That has been settled law for more than a century. This challenge is

The mountains sell a story of clean air, fresh powder, luxury, and escape. Visitors come for the views, the skiing, the village lights, the Michelin-star meals, and the postcard version of Colorado.  Ski resorts like Aspen, Snowmass, Vail, Breckenridge, Steamboat, Telluride, Winter Park, Copper Mountain, and others across Colorado all benefit from that image. What most visitors do not see are the workers holding it all together. The rooms do not clean themselves. The dishes d

On Tuesday, Voces Unidas testified before the Colorado House Judiciary Committee on two immigration bills, one day after 300 people came to the Capitol on Monday for Latino/a Advocacy Day to lobby lawmakers in support of those same measures. The two bills ended with the same vote count, but very different outcomes. HB26-1275 failed in committee on a 6-5 vote. HB26-1276 was amended and passed on a 6-5 vote. We are deeply disappointed that HB26-1275 failed. At a time when trust

More than 300 Coloradans concluded the 20th Annual Latino/a Advocacy Day on Monday with a rally at the State Capitol to urge lawmakers to pass legislation that will improve the lives of Latinas and Latinos throughout the state. “The 20th anniversary of Latino Advocacy Day marks two decades of transformative growth in Latino political power and the advancement of equitable policies in Colorado,” said Dusti Gurule, President and CEO of Colorado Organization for Latina Opportuni

Sunday at Latino Advocacy Day 2026 was about preparation, but it was also about political accountability. Participants gathered for town halls with Michael Bennet and Phil Weiser, along with advocacy training and lobby group planning ahead of Monday at the Capitol. It gave Latinos from across Colorado the chance to hear directly from the top two candidates running in the race to succeed term-limited Gov. Jared Polis and to press them on the issues shaping Latino communities.

The first day of Latino Advocacy Day brought more than 300 people together from across Colorado, including 100 youth, for the start of a three-day effort leading up to Monday’s formal day of action at the Capitol. Participants spent the day grounding themselves in the Colorado Latino Agenda and moving through issue briefings focused on housing justice, community safety, worker protections, environmental justice, and affordable healthcare. In the housing sessions, people dug i

You may have received a notice or letter earlier this year from your clinic or hospital, alerting you that some of your information is possibly being shared with ICE. We know these notices have caused anxiety in the immigrant community so here are some things you should know.  First, the notice you received is not about something that is happening at your clinic or hospital or healthcare provider. It does not mean your clinic is collaborating with ICE. Instead, the notices ar

Today, Voces Unidas joined coalition partners, impacted workers, and lawmakers on the West Steps of the Colorado State Capitol to announce a new bill to protect workers from dangerous extreme heat and cold on the job. More than 20 impacted workers stood alongside advocates and legislative sponsors to mark the public start of this effort and to make clear that Colorado cannot keep treating extreme temperatures at work like they are normal. It was the start of a statewide push
