Giving Activity
Mission
Colorado Ceasefire's mission is to work for freedom from gun violence. Colorado Ceasefire Outreach educates the public on the issue of gun violence prevention and works with diverse communities to educate about common sense gun safety legislation.
Background Statement
Colorado Ceasefire began in the 2000 election cycle, after the Colorado General Assembly failed to pass significant gun violence prevention laws following the Columbine High School shootings.
That's when a small group of committed individuals formed a PAC to remove legislators from office who were a block to progress. That year, six critical races turned hands, and we felt that we had made a significant contribution to those changes. We then realized "We have a voice at the capitol; we can't stop now!" … and so an organization was born.
Colorado Ceasefire Outreach, a 501C3 designated arm of Colorado Ceasefire, was established in 2015 and is the newest member of the Colorado Ceasefire organization. Our mission is to educate the public on gun violence prevention and win passage of laws that are proven to reduce gun violence. Colorado Ceasefire is the Colorado Affiliate of States United to Prevent Gun Violence.
Colorado Ceasefire has been a leader in passing laws requiring universal background checks, a ban on high capacity magazines, and keeping guns out of the hands of convicted domestic abusers. In 2019, we helped win passage of the Extreme Risk Protection Order law to allow families or law enforcement to go to court to temporarily remove guns from dangerous persons.
