We need your help in Colorado. Legislators there are pushing legislation that would keep child marriage legal — but limit the spousal age limit to 10 years. TEN YEARS!
Tell Colorado lawmakers to pass a bill that sets the marriage age at 18, without exceptions. Governor Jared Polis, Colorado state Representative Lorena Garcia and Colorado legislators need to hear from advocates like you now. Share our posts on the platforms below, and post to your own networks. You can use the sample post below or create your own.

WTF, Colorado? The amendment to Colorado’s child marriage bill would protect just 3% of minors being married in this state. It would allow men in their mid-to-late-20s to legally prey on high school girls. That is not a ban. That is a different kind of failure. @GovofCO, @RepLorenaGarcia, @Junie4Colorado: 18 no exceptions — or kill the bill. Colorado girls cannot wait. #EndChildMarriageCO
