Colorado Civic Engagement Roundtable

About the Colorado Civic Engagement Roundtable (CCER)

As an organization working to build a movement of civic engagement in Colorado, CCER’s mission is to foster the development of a more equitable, just and inclusive state where all Coloradans can participate in, and have a voice in democracy and policy decisions that affect them. We envision a Colorado where all eligible voters successfully cast a ballot in every election; where people from all walks of life can have their voices heard in policy matters; and where every person, regardless of race, gender, geography, age, sexual orientation, ability or income, influences the decisions that shape and guide our state.
