The Colorado Youth Advisory Council has been an organization that is crucial to provide the youth voice and representation needed in state government. The council has gone onto work on so many initiatives including those that make state services such as Safe2Tell more accessible to youth populations. It is through this organization that I had the honor to help with a policy proposal that Senator Winter’s picked up that is related to decreasing the number of youth overdoses in Colorado. COYAC has gone onto truly inspire the next generation of public servants and it is very important that WE DO NOT implement any budget cuts to the group.
Suyash supported: Prevent Budget Cuts to the Colorado Youth Advisory CouncilWe need this group to give kids voice. So many adults don’t care what teens have to say about things that affect them for the rest of their life. This group gives them a voice, a chance to be heard by grown ups.
Hailey supported: Prevent Budget Cuts to the Colorado Youth Advisory CouncilYouth voice on legislation that affects youth is beyond important. We must, give youth a platform to express themselves and their peers, and work for the better good of all youth. They are living as youth now, and know the challenges we face daily - alongside possible solutions.
Andre supported: Prevent Budget Cuts to the Colorado Youth Advisory CouncilI am a COYAC alum who is about to graduate with my degree in public health in addition to serving multiple organizations, local programs, and schools. COYAC cultivated my passion and allowed me to be heard. My proudest accomplishments has been those created by this opportunity and this should be allowed to youth across the state. Youth are often forgotten in conversations at the state level, but COYAC ensures that youth voice is not only listened to, but valued. This needs to be fully funded. It has changed my life, and I know countless others who were supported in the same way.
Mason supported: Prevent Budget Cuts to the Colorado Youth Advisory CouncilI am a stepdaughter of a retired CO. I can remember times when he came home really late due to having to be in the hospital due to an inmate biting him. There were a lot of times where he would work 12 hour shifts or even do doubles. That was not safe for him nor the inmates.
Now I have a granddaughter who wears the BLUES proudly! I fear everyday that she is safe from harm and diseases.
The scare is real folks!!! If you haven't worked behind the walls or a family member of someone who is, you don't have any idea of what it's like. For those of us who have had that experience, it's very scary and you always worry if your love one will be home safe and on time. We have to make these prisons safer!!
I STAND WITH OUR BLUES!!!!
