Initiative 89 is in the final weeks of petition signature gathering. All petitions are due to the LWVCO office by Friday March 29. The campaign is expected to surpass 100,000 signatures today, with 185,000 as the goal. So much more work is needed to get this important measure on the ballot in November to allow all Coloradans to have their voices heard -- keeping this important issue out of the hands of politicians.

Big congratulations to LWV Greeley Weld, the Latino Coalition of Weld County, along with Stacy Suniga and LWVCO Board member Barbara Whinery on their successful suit regarding 2023's redistricting in Weld County! We are proud of their tireless work to keep our systems of democracy in place.
