5/5 Colorado must do better. 18 with no exceptions—or kill the bill. @colorado.gov #EndChildMarriageCO @colorado.gov @replorenagarcia.bsky.social

4/5 The amendment still allows a 2-year-old to legally marry a 16-year-old. It ignores trafficking, automatic emancipation, coercion, and the legal traps child marriage creates. #EndChildMarriageCO @colorado.gov @replorenagarcia.bsky.social

3/5 Legislators could not even agree on whether the amendment covers 17-year-olds. If it does, it protects just 3% of child brides in Colorado. If not, less than 1%. #EndChildMarriageCO @colorado.gov @replorenagarcia.bsky.social

2/5 The original version of SB-48 would have banned child marriage with no exceptions. The House amendment weakens the bill with a confusing 10-year age gap loophole. #EndChildMarriageCO @colorado.gov @replorenagarcia.bsky.social

🧵 1/5 Child marriage is often used as a cover for trafficking. Girls can be moved across state lines or borders under the guise of marriage. Colorado’s amended SB-48 does nothing to stop that. #EndChildMarriageCO @colorado.gov @replorenagarcia.bsky.social

Colorado’s amended child marriage bill would protect 3% of minors being married in this state. It would allow men in their 20s to prey on high school girls. @GovofCO, @RepLorenaGarcia, @Junie4Colorado: 18 no exceptions — or kill the bill. #EndChildMarriageCO
