Colorado Children's Alliance

Big news for Colorado!

HB26-1142, a bill that strengthens the statutory definition and establishes key protections for Child Advocacy Centers (CACs), has officially been signed into law by the Governor!

This milestone reflects a year of advocacy and collaboration from partners, professionals, and policymakers who are committed to improving Colorado's response to child abuse.

HB26-1142 had incredible support at the Capitol, passing each chamber unanimously and picking up an additional 44 cosponsors along the way.

A huge thank you to our bill sponsors: Representative Rick Taggart, Speaker Pro Tempore Andrew Boesenecker, Senator Dylan Roberts, and Senator Matt Ball. Your advocacy on this bill will have a lasting impact on Colorado's children, and we are honored to have your support. Thank you also to every legislator who voted to support this legislation and who signed on as a cosponsor.

This Child Abuse Prevention Month, Colorado is shining bright. 💙

As part of our Shine a Light for Children campaign, landmarks, businesses, and partners across Colorado are lighting up in blue to raise awareness and show their commitment to protecting children.

We’re proud to highlight these incredible partners who are taking a stand and helping spark important conversations about child abuse prevention.

💙 When we shine a light together, we make children safer.

Thank you to everyone who is participating and showing that Colorado cares. If your building or community is lit up, snag a picture and send it to us, or tag us in your post!

We hit the ice with the Colorado Avalanche for Pucks for Prevention! 🏒💙

Child Advocacy Centers from across Colorado came together with our board, partners, and community to raise awareness during Child Abuse Prevention Month.

From our booth conversations to the energy in the arena—this is what awareness looks like.

💙 Thank you for showing up for kids.

Tomorrow, Congress's House Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade will hear about 19 different bills that all aim to better protect children from online harm. Several bills that will be considered have the potential to drastically reduce online exploitation, enticement, and abuse, like the App Store Accountability Act and the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA).
