At Colorado Ceasefire, we know gun violence destroys the lives of too many Coloradans. Every day
we raise awareness about the dangers of gun violence in our homes and communities, and work
with Colorado lawmakers to implement and maintain gun safety reforms that keep families and children
free from harm—because every Coloradan has the right to feel safe where they work, live, learn and
play.
We are Colorado's original grassroots gun violence prevention organization: parents, teachers, students, community members, gun violence survivors, and others who have been working since 2000 to prevent and reduce gun violence in our state. We provide education, outreach, and legislative advocacy.
Colorado Ceasefire Outreach advances education and advocacy to reduce gun violence by strengthening communities and shaping effective interventions. We work with schools, churches, community groups, and government agencies to offer reliable, non-political information and training. Our 2025 community workshops and outreach efforts have taken place in Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Greeley, Boulder, Brighton, Towoac, and Columbine, and our professional workshops have reached Larimer and Arapahoe counties.
Our work is making a difference, and so does your help!

Colorado Ceasefire works for freedom from gun violence in the places Coloradans live, work, and play. Colorado Ceasefire Outreach educates the public on the issue of gun violence prevention, working with diverse communities to educate about common-sense gun safety tools, strategies and legislation.
Colorado Ceasefire was founded in 2000, after the Colorado General Assembly failed to pass significant gun violence prevention laws following the Columbine High School shootings.
Initially it was a PAC to remove legislators from office who were a block to progress. That year, six critical seats changed hands, and we felt we had made a significant contribution. Ever since, Colorado Ceasefire has been a leading gun violence prevention voice at the state capitol.
Colorado Ceasefire Outreach, a 501(c)(3)-designated arm of Colorado Ceasefire, was established in 2015. Its mission is to educate the public on gun violence prevention and help advocate passage of common-sense 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, law enforcement, teachers, and medical professionals to go to court to temporarily remove guns from dangerous persons. An important part of our Outreach training is in how to best use this critical, life-saving tool.
We also monitor enforcement of gun laws, to keep sellers and others accountable for meeting their legal requirements.
Our non-political education and training reaches more than one thousand Coloradans every year, helping students, parents, educators, and others make their homes and communities safer.
