The Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO)

Red Flag Law - Hosted by 301 Faith Partners

This Tuesday - August 23 - 6:30 pm

ERPOs are an important tool in the gun violence and suicide prevention “toolkit”. With the support of Colorado Faith Communities United to End Gun Violence (CFCU) and Colorado Ceasefire, the Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) became law in Colorado in 2020.

Colorado’s ERPO law allows family members and law enforcement to petition the courts for temporary removal of firearms from individuals who are at risk to themselves and/or others.

ERPOs help to reduce the daily loss of life due to firearm violence, including gun suicide, but the law is not widely understood.

Learn more on Tuesday, August 23 at 6:30 pm when the 301 Faith Partners will host a presentation about ERPO to our fellow communities of faith.

Those interested in learning more can register to attend in person or via Zoom. Please register for this event.

Habitat for Humanity

September 17 (Saturday) is our next build day for 301 Faith Partners! 

Mid September will be perfect weather for a build day. If you are interested, have never been to a build day or have questions, please call me and I will enlighten you on the satisfaction of building side by side with homeowners and seeing this amazing neighborhood of 48 affordable - zero interest homes going up in our community!

301 Faith Partners are also the faith group preparing and serving lunch to those building that day. I am looking for 2-3 folks to decide the menu, prepare it and serve it at the build site. This is the highlight for the volunteers building that day and we know that we have the BEST cooks at 301 Faith Partners.

Call or email Steph Dugger at 970-223-9119 or steph.dugger@hotmail.com to volunteer for this amazing and rewarding opportunity!
