ADVOCACY TEAM
The real work of Colorado Faith Communities United to End Gun Violence is done within our four Action Teams — Advocacy, Outreach, Public Health Strategies, and Communications. Volunteers select the team they wish to participate in and meet regularly with their group to advance CFCU priorities.
Analyzes and responds to local and state legislative initiatives that have a direct influence on reducing the improper or inappropriate use of firearms. Works to support bills and, when necessary, oppose others through direct testimony, letter writing, phone calling, and other means. The team also collaborates with Colorado Ceasefire to organize the annual Lobby Day event to train gun violence prevention advocates in effective lobbying.
