Aurora's Colorado State Legislators Special Town Hall on Harmful Fentanyl Ballot Initiative -5:30 PM
About this event
Don't miss this opportunity to discuss Colorado Proposition 132, an initiative on the November 3, 2026 ballot which would increase the felony classifications and prison ranges required for fentanyl and certain synthetic opioids offenses and narrow judges’ ability to take individual circumstances into consideration when determining criminal sentences.
The League of Women Voters of Colorado opposes this ballot initiative because:
- Imprisoning a drug offender for longer periods of time does not solve their drug addiction issues or lessen the societal costs of drug addiction.
- There is no relationship between states’ rates of drug imprisonment and drug problems, which suggests that expanding imprisonment is not likely to be an effective drug control and prevention strategy.
The Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition (CCJRC) also opposes this ballot initiative. See their summary
