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, 1373 Grant Street, Denver, when the legislature is in session, and periodically in the fall when the legislature is not in session.

Meetings include legislative briefings and programs in which legislators and community professionals present information about current problems and proposed legislation. Regular meetings are free and open to everyone.

Issues include:

• Violence Prevention
• Poverty and Self Sufficiency
• Health Care
• Mental Health Care
• Juvenile and Adult Corrections
• Education
• Housing and Homelessness
