$50,000 Goal
Colorado is at a crossroads.
For the first time in over 20 years, the state is preparing to build a new prison — a decision that would lock our communities into decades of harm and wasted public dollars.
We can stop it — but we have to start now. Will you help us reach our $50,000 goal this Colorado Gives Day (December 9th)?
The Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition is mobilizing a statewide campaign to fight back against prison expansion and advocate for state funding in what truly makes us safe: housing, mental health care, and reentry.
When you pre-schedule your Colorado Gives Day gift, you help us show strength and momentum. New recurring donations will count toward the statewide matching fund!
Your gift powers:
- Advocacy to stop new prison construction
- Organizing so directly impacted people can lead this fight
- Public education to counter fear-based narratives about crime and punishment
- Bold policy work to reduce mass incarceration
Colorado doesn’t need new prisons. It needs new possibilities.
Join us in saying no to expansion, yes to community — and help build a safer, smarter Colorado.
Pre-schedule your gift today!
With deep gratitude,
Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition

Background Statement
For 25 years, the Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition (CCJRC) has led the fight against prison expansion and for real community safety. Founded in 1999, CCJRC brings a community voice to criminal justice reform—challenging mass incarceration and advancing policies that strengthen families and neighborhoods. We’ve helped close seven prisons, passed hundreds of reforms, and redirected over $100 million into treatment, reentry, prevention, and victim support. Our work is grounded in one belief: real safety starts with strong, well-resourced communities—not more prisons.
