Endorsements
COLOR Action Fund (COLOR AF) is Colorado’s only Latine-led reproductive justice political organization. Our endorsement process reflects that responsibility.
We examine, evaluate, and endorse candidates who govern with reproductive justice values, reject corporate influence, and commit to accountability to Latine communities before they take office. This process is designed for candidates prepared to govern with reproductive justice values and for community members who expect transparency, accountability, and clarity from those seeking power.
The candidates listed below have completed COLOR AF’s endorsement process and demonstrated alignment with our values, standards, and expectations for governance.

How Our Endorsement Process Works
We endorse candidates because elections shape who has power, and power determines whose lives are protected, whose are controlled, and whose are ignored. Our endorsements are a public declaration of values, accountability, and governing standards. Our endorsement process is rigorous, transparent, and values-driven.
Candidates participate in:
-
Invitational group interviews
-
Rapid-fire YES/NO questions that surface non-negotiables
-
Issue-based conversations grounded in lived impact
-
Viability and governing-readiness assessments
We ask direct questions about:
-
Bodily autonomy and reproductive justice
-
Gender-affirming care
-
Immigrant healthcare access
-
Economic justice and worker protections
-
Housing justice and algorithmic exploitation
-
Criminal legal reform and wealth-based detention
-
Immigration enforcement, detention, and deportation
-
Global human rights and moral consistency
Participation Is a Choice and a Signal
Candidates are invited into COLOR AF’s endorsement process. Some accept. Some decline. Participation signals a willingness to engage with reproductive justice as a governing framework and to be evaluated through community-rooted standards. Declining to participate is itself a choice, and one that may signal values misalignment with our approach. We respect candidates’ decisions. We are equally clear about what those decisions communicate.
