Established in 1971, the Colorado Social Legislation Committee (CSLC) is a coalition of persons and organizations interested in legislation related to human needs and services, especially at the state level. CSLC is a nonpartisan and all volunteer organization that works to create a better future for Colorado.

CSLC meets every Monday at noon at the First Baptist Church, 14th and Grant Streets Denver when the legislature is in session, and periodically in the fall when the legislature is not in session.

Issues include:

• Violence Prevention
