Dear John,

Colorado parents are running out of time, and they know it Right now, families across the state are gathering signatures face-to-face for Ballot Initiative 110, a measure to protect children by stopping irreversible sex-change surgeries on minors and blocking taxpayer funding for these procedures. Now the question is simple: will Colorado’s ballot process be handled fairly, or will insiders stop this before voters ever get a say?
Sign now and urge Secretary of State Jena Griswold to let Initiative 110 move forward.
Officials behave differently when they know the nation is watching. That is why your signature matters right now. Colorado families are fighting to protect children, and they are not fighting for only their own kids; they are fighting for all of our children. If you know anyone in Colorado, please forward this email today. Colorado law requires residents to sign Initiative 110 in person, and families are lining up at churches, community centers, and signing locations across the state right now. This is the final stretch. Stand with Colorado families today. Help ensure Initiative 110 is not buried before voters can decide. What happens in Colorado will not stay in Colorado. A win here sends a national message: parents still have the right to defend their children, and citizens still have the right to act when lawmakers refuse. Every signature is a signal that this must be handled in the open, by the book, and without political interference.
In solidarity,
Anna Derbyshire and the entire CitizenGO Team

They shut down the Parents’ Bill of Rights. They pushed radical gender policies into schools. They turned institutions into the gender police over children. Now, Colorado families are fighting back through Ballot Initiative 110, The last constitutional path left when politicians refuse to listen. Colorado families will be heard. America is watching.
STAND WITH COLORADO

Dear John,

Colorado parents are fighting for the simple, fundamental right to raise their children without politicians inserting themselves between parents and their children. In recent years, Colorado’s Democrat-dominated legislature has pushed radical gender policies into public schools and systematically weakened parental authority step by step. In 2023, when parents tried to secure basic protections for families through a proposed Parents’ Bill of Rights constitutional amendment, lawmakers killed it in committee before it could advance. That decision changed everything.  Because once lawmakers shut down the Parents’ Bill of Rights, there was nothing left to restrain the state’s gender agenda inside Colorado’s schools and institutions. With parents pushed aside, government policy moved quickly from debate to enforcement and punishment. Biological reality was treated as optional. Parental authority was treated as suspect. And schools and professionals were pressured to comply - or else. What followed was predictable: more mandates, more punishment for dissent, and more power handed to institutions to intervene in the most sensitive areas of a child’s identity, education, and care. Colorado families saw where this was heading. Many have been fighting back in court from the very beginning, simply to keep the state from overriding mothers and fathers. And as more young adults come forward with heart-wrenching stories of regret and lasting harm, parents are not willing to stay silent while irreversible decisions are made for children by government-run schools, hospitals, and counseling centers. Colorado parents are not imagining this. They are living it. That is why this fight matters now. 
Sign now. Stand with Colorado parents. They fight for all of us!
In 2024, Colorado passed HB24-1039 to treat “gender identity” pronouns as a civil-rights mandate, even over parents’ objections. Since then, schools have been required to affirm a child’s declared “gender identity,” while mothers and fathers are expected to go along or be treated as the problem. Then, in May 2025, Governor Jared Polis signed HB25-1312, the Kelly Loving Act, dramatically expanding enforcement of “gender identity” and punishing schools, counselors, and professionals who refuse to comply. Parents are treated as obstacles while institutions become the gender police over children. Today, Colorado families have one last constitutional path forward: Ballot Initiative 110. Initiative 110 will protect children by prohibiting irreversible sex-change surgeries on minors and blocking taxpayer funding for procedures no child can truly consent to. But to qualify for the ballot, Colorado parents must meet strict, unforgiving requirements. They must collect more than 124,000 in-person signatures statewide before the February 20th deadline. Parents are lining up at churches on Sunday morning. They gather after youth sports practices, outside civic centers, in community halls, and even in places as familiar as IHOP. Town by town. Family by family. Signature by signature. This is what grassroots resistance looks like. And that is exactly why leftist political insiders are nervous. Colorado has become the testing ground. Its political leadership has worked for years to turn this state into a national model, replacing parental rights with government ideology. Parents are fighting back at the ballot box; however, the process itself is controlled by state officials. Yes, the same officials who created the chaos.  That is why this petition matters so much. Colorado’s Secretary of State, Jena Griswold, will ultimately receive and review these signatures. Her office controls whether the rules are applied fairly, transparently, and without political interference. Colorado families deserve a clear path, not backroom obstacles.
Sign the petition now and tell Secretary Griswold: Do not block Colorado parents from having their ballot initiative considered and placed on the ballot.
This is not complicated. Colorado parents are demanding equal treatment under the law. The ballot initiative process exists for moments like this, when lawmakers refuse to listen, and citizens must act directly. A state official does not get to tilt the playing field because the issue is politically inconvenient. The people have the right to be heard. Colorado residents should know one important detail: Colorado law requires Initiative 110 to be signed in person. This online petition is a national warning shot to the Secretary of State, showing that Colorado families are not alone. And if you live in Colorado, after you sign here, we will email you the official signing-location calendar so you can take action before the February 20 deadline. Because if Colorado parents do not submit signatures by February 20, 2026, Initiative 110 will not qualify for the November ballot. The window is narrow. The stakes are real for all of us. If Colorado can erase parental authority and impose gender ideology through schools and state enforcement, it will not stay in Colorado. Other states will follow. That is why Americans across the country must stand with these families now. Your name ensures the Colorado Secretary of State hears one message loud and clear: Parents will not be ignored. America is watching. Children must be protected. Colorado families are on the front lines for all of us. Stand with them today. 
Send Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold a clear message: “Do not block Colorado parents from having their ballot initiative considered and placed on the ballot.”
For Families and Children,
