We are proud to announce the official wins of the progressive candidates we endorsed in this 2021 election cycle:

• Ruben Medina in Ward #3 for the Aurora City Council
• Crystal Murillo in Ward #1 as incumbent for the Aurora City Council
• Xóchitl 'Sochi' Gaytán, Director-Elect for Denver School Board, District 2
  

Congratulations to our local leaders! We are eager to work together to fight for immigrant and refugee rights across the state of Colorado.

While we are proud of our wins this electoral cycle, we also believe that, with more significant financial investments in our campaign, we would have been in a stronger position to win a majority on the Aurora City Council and secure victories in other races.

On October 7th, CIRC AF supporters, staff members, board members and endorsed candidates came together at Cheluna Brewery for a night of celebration. 

Community members enjoyed Latin-inspired beer while they mingled with other guests and participated in our raffle gift bags. By the end of the night, we were able to raise $1,600! Thank you to everyone who was able to make it and who donated!

2022 is just around the corner! Get your holiday donations in before the year ends. Although there are a lot of wonderful causes you may have already given to, continuing to flip Colorado into a blue state and securing progressive wins will be even more critical next year!

Making a gift to CIRC Action Fund allows us to:

• Continue turning up BIPOC voters in the elections
•  Endorse and support progressive candidates
• ... and encourage people to participate in their civic duty!
