In an effort to amplify the work being done on the streets every single day by dedicated changemakers standing up for justice and speaking out against those in power who are attacking our friends and neighbors, we’re going to start posting a “Resistance Calendar” to our website on Thursdays.
Here are some of the events, actions, and protests happening in Colorado over the next seven days.

Ongoing Petitions:
What: Free Jeanette Vizguerra
Why: “Jeanette Vizguerra, a Colorado community leader and mother, has led the fight against her own deportation since 2009. She is the mother of four children – one of whom is a permanent resident, and the other three are U.S. citizens — as well as a grandmother. ICE detained Ms. Vizguerra without warning on March 17, 2025. The agency appears to be readying to deport her, despite not possessing a valid deportation order. As of 10:15am on Tuesday, March 18, she continues to be detained inside GEO. Her attorneys have raised concerns about serious legal errors. If ICE does not change course, they will be ripping her away from her family and community without any concern for her due process rights.”
What: Bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia Home
Link(s): https://sign.moveon.org/petitions/bring-kilmar-abrego-garcia-home
https://wearecasa.org/updates/demand-justice-for-kilmar-armando-abrego-garcia/
Why: Organizers say, “Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a longtime Maryland resident and father of three, was illegally deported to a notorious megaprison in El Salvador—despite a U.S. immigration judge’s ruling that he should remain in the country. Even after the Supreme Court ordered that Kilmar’s deportation was unlawful, Trump and Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele have refused to comply. Instead, they doubled down—laughing off the ruling, smearing Kilmar as a “terrorist,” and refusing to take action to bring him home. Kilmar’s deportation was the result of what the Trump administration called an “administrative error.” Yet rather than fixing that mistake, they’ve condemned him to indefinite detention in CECOT, a prison infamous for inhumane conditions, where human rights experts warn of torture and cruel, degrading, and inhumane treatment.”
