At One Colorado, we stand firm: all individuals deserve access to the healthcare they need to survive and thrive. The recent stance from the White House on gender-affirming care for transgender youth is deeply concerning. Denying access to necessary medical treatment contradicts principles of equality and compassion. Transgender youth should have the same rights as their cisgender peers when it comes to healthcare decisions. Limiting access to gender-affirming care goes against medical expertise and ignores the well-being of young transgender individuals. We urge the Biden administration to align its position with medical experts. Healthcare decisions should remain between patients, their families, and healthcare providers—not subjected to political interference. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #HealthcareEquality #GenderAffirmingCare #OneColorado #WeAreOneCo

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the One Colorado Queer Youth Summit scheduled for July 13th, 2024 at Western Colorado University has been canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and understand the disappointment surrounding this event. However, we are excited to extend a special invitation to all registered youth to attend our upcoming Youth Advocacy Retreat in October in Denver. This retreat will empower young advocates through enriching experiences and connections with other youth advocates. One Colorado will cover housing and transportation costs for all registered youth attending the retreat. Stay tuned for details on dates, location, and itinerary. If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact Sage S. at Sages@one-colorado.org #OneColorado #WeAreOneCO #QueerYouthSummit

Today marks a historic milestone in our journey towards equality and love. On this day in 2015, love triumphed as the Supreme Court recognized marriage equality for all in Obergefell v. Hodges. Let's celebrate the progress made and continue to strive for a future where love knows no bounds. 🏳️‍🌈❤️ One Colorado, in partnership with the Freedom to Marry Colorado campaign, has successfully launched a ballot initiative to remove the ban on marriage for same-sex couples from Colorado’s State Constitution. We are one step closer to ensuring that all Coloradan’s continue to have the freedom to marry the person they love. As we celebrate today’s anniversary, we must remember how crucial it is to VOTE this November!

🗳️ Your Vote Matters! 🌈 Primary elections are just as important as the general election, especially for the our LGBTQ+ community. By voting in primaries, we can: Shape the Ballot: Help choose candidates who truly represent and support our rights and interests. Influence Policy: Early support for pro-equality candidates can set the tone for inclusive and progressive policies. Amplify Our Voice: Show that our community is engaged, active, and a force to be reckoned with in politics. Don't wait for November—make your voice heard now! Every vote in the primaries helps pave the way for a more inclusive and equitable future. Let’s make sure our community’s needs are front and center from the very beginning. 🏳️‍🌈 📮 #VoteProud #LGBTQVotes #PrimaryPower

Today, we celebrate a tremendous victory for bodily autonomy and human dignity. One Colorado working with the Freedom for all Coloradans Committee just defeated a ballot initiative proposed by far-right activists that could have banned gender affirming care (GAC) for minors in Colorado by prohibiting healthcare providers from talking to a patient about their options for GAC or performing any procedures, including providing medications, even with parental and minor consent. Today, far right activists are collecting signatures on the remaining two initiatives, a forced outing initiative and a ban on transgender girls in sports. Coloradans will not stand for such hateful attacks on our community. One Colorado needs your support to ensure these issues don’t make the ballot, sign up for more information or to volunteer with us.
