Power to the people! ✊🏼

COLORADANS HAVE BUILT SOMETHING REMARKABLE!

Since June, Protect Colorado’s Constitution has helped turn a little-known ballot initiative into a statewide conversation about constitutional rights, wildlife management, and the public’s voice.

And we’ve done it with something the national campaign pushing Amendment 83 cannot buy: a grassroots effort funded entirely by individual Colorado citizens.

While the main Yes campaign has disclosed nearly $2 million in contributions, we’ve spent months examining public records, following campaign money, reviewing Colorado Parks and Wildlife documents, and bringing the actual language of Amendment 83 into public view.

Our work has reached statewide news coverage, including Colorado Public Radio. Our supporters have shared research, contributed information, donated, spoken up, and helped carry this conversation into communities across Colorado.

That’s the movement we’ve built together. And it’s something to be proud of.

We’ve helped bring attention to the amendment’s undefined language, the constitutional preference it would create, and the potential legal costs identified in Colorado’s official Blue Book.

We’ve also put a critical fact before voters: hunting and fishing are already legal in Colorado and remain legal if Amendment 83 fails.

The national campaign has its checkbooks. We’ve built a community of Coloradans willing to examine the facts and speak for themselves.

And here’s the number that counts: Amendment 83 needs 55% of the vote to pass. The final decision belongs to Colorado voters, not the organizations financing the campaign.

To everyone who has supported this work since June, donated, shared a post, sent us records, or helped another Coloradan understand the proposal, thank you. You’ve helped build a serious, citizen-funded movement rooted in Colorado communities and powered by people who care deeply about our state’s wildlife, traditions, and future.

Let’s get loud, Colorado!

Zooming out, as a public service announcement . . .

Advance Colorado is behind several statewide ballot measures in the November election, including questions on natural gas, immigration, taxes and fentanyl.

The group has the backing of major Republican figures and donors, but its shadowy approach has also faced criticism for condensing complicated policy into ballot measures that may have impacts that are more far-reaching than voters understand.

Here’s a look at Advance’s latest ballot measures, its history and leadership and how it operates.

A U.S.-born Mexican gray wolf translocated to Chihuahua, Mexico, in May 2026 crossed north back into New Mexico this week through the state’s remote region known as the Bootheel. Named “Flor”, Spanish for flower, by wolf advocates in Mexico, the former breeding male of the Hardcastle Canyon pack returned to his home state through one of the last unwalled stretches of the international boundary.

Public lands are uniquely American, and essentially Western. They are important habitat for wildlife, especially large carnivores, which are also symbols of the West.

They belong to all Americans, but those of us who live close to them enjoy the benefits more directly.

Colorado is about 36% national public lands, mostly in the western half of the state.

Matt Barnes of the Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative talks public lands and wildlife, and shares some of his experiences working with ranches to reduce predation risk in Montana and Wyoming, on the Wolf Connection Podcast.
