AI Summary

This resolution, a formal expression of opinion or intent by the Colorado General Assembly, recognizes the significance of Latino/a Advocacy Day, an annual event that has amplified over 5,800 Latina and Latino voices to address systemic inequalities within the community. Originating in 2006 in response to anti-immigrant sentiment and legislation, the day brings together community organizations and activists to hold policymakers accountable, advocate for improved public policies, and increase the political influence of the Latina and Latino community in Colorado. The resolution acknowledges that Latinas and Latinos, who constitute the largest nonwhite demographic group in Colorado at 22.7%, continue to be disproportionately affected by disparities in healthcare, housing, education, and economic opportunity, and emphasizes the importance of their inclusion in the policy-making process. Ultimately, the resolution honors the contributions of Latinas and Latinos to Colorado's history of political engagement, pays tribute to participants of Latino/a Advocacy Day for their efforts in ensuring representation and just treatment, and commits to fostering a more equitable Colorado for all residents, regardless of immigration status.
