From Clinic to Confiscation: Colorado’s Blueprint for Civil Rights Abuse

Alicia Garcia, Co-Founder of The 2nd Syndicate, states that Colorado is the testbed for state-funded civil rights abuse. Garcia explains that in 2021, Colorado passed House Bill 21-1299, creating the Office of Gun Violence Prevention (OGVP) under the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. On paper, it was sold as a public health initiative designed to reduce “gun violence.” In reality, it is a state-funded propaganda tool weaponized to erode constitutional protections, normalize surveillance, and ultimately disarm the very citizens it’s supposed to protect.
