Colorado Ceasefire is the longest-running grassroots gun violence prevention organization in the State of Colorado. We are 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 educates Coloradans across the state about life-saving gun violence prevention tools. We work with schools, churches, community groups, and government agencies to offer reliable, non-political information and training.
Our work is making a difference, and so does your help!

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.
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 seats changed hands, and we felt that we had made a significant contribution. We then realized we had a voice at the capitol.
Colorado Ceasefire Outreach, a 501C3 designated arm of Colorado Ceasefire, was established in 2015. Its mission is to educate the public on gun violence prevention and help press for 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.
Our non-political education and training reach hundreds of Coloradans every year, helping students, parents, educators, and others make their homes and communities safer.
