Our Work
CIRC is a statewide membership-based coalition of immigrant, labor, interfaith, youth and ally organizations founded in 2002 to build a unified statewide voice to improve the lives of immigrants and refugees in Colorado and the United States. CIRC achieves this mission through non-partisan civic engagement, public education and advocacy to win fair, humane and workable public policies.

Universal Representation
CIRC championed a new law to create a statewide legal defense fund, so that no one has to face detention and deportation without access to legal representation.
