Stand Up for Colorado: Weekly Protest Against Rep. Gabe Evans’ Trump-Aligned Agenda
Every Friday — Join us!
Enough is Enough
Since taking office in January 2025, Representative Gabe Evans has consistently aligned himself with Donald Trump’s agenda, voting for legislation that threatens healthcare access, due process, and the wellbeing of Colorado families. We’re supporting activist groups in his district by attending weekly Friday protests to hold him accountable.
Why We’re Protesting
Rep. Evans has voted in lockstep with policies that prioritize corporate interests and divisive political messaging over the needs of everyday Coloradans. Two votes stand out as particularly harmful:
The Laken Riley Act: Weaponizing Tragedy Against Immigrant Communities
Rep. Evans voted YES on the Laken Riley Act, a bill that immigrant rights advocates strongly condemn as dangerous and politically motivated legislation.
What activists and advocates say:
This bill manipulates a personal tragedy to justify mass detention without due process. It disproportionately targets Black and Brown individuals and vulnerable communities while doing nothing to address actual public safety concerns. The legislation undermines constitutional protections and creates a framework for widespread civil rights violations.
The Laken Riley Act is not about safety—it’s about fear-mongering and expanding a system that tears families apart.
The “One Big Beautiful Bill”: Corporate Giveaways, Community Harm
Rep. Evans also voted YES on what Republicans call the “One Big Beautiful Bill”—legislation that prioritizes massive corporate tax breaks while putting millions of Americans’ health coverage and food security at risk.
The real-world consequences:
Here are the devastating impacts of this legislation:
Healthcare Crisis: Could force the closure of over 300 rural hospitals and remove 17 million Americans from health insurance
Medicaid Devastation: Threatens to gut Medicaid coverage, directly harming low-income families and patients who rely on community health centers
Children Going Hungry: Would cut nutritional assistance for 4.2 million children by reversing bipartisan SNAP exemptions for vulnerable groups
Economic Inequality: Tax provisions designed to benefit the wealthy, while putting 1.75 million construction jobs at risk
Student Debt Burden: Increases student loan payments for young people already struggling financially
As the Center for American Progress and other advocacy organizations have noted, this isn’t governance—it’s a “big beautiful betrayal” of working families.
Colorado Deserves Better
Gabe Evans represents Colorado’s 8th Congressional District—a diverse, swing district that includes communities from Thornton to Greeley. His constituents deserve a representative who prioritizes their healthcare, economic security, and civil rights over partisan loyalty to Trump’s agenda.
