Protect Kids Colorado is an issue committee and advocacy organization that describes itself as a non-partisan coalition focused on child safety and strengthening families. The group is led by executive director Erin Lee, with Patricia McKernan serving as its registered agent.
The organization is the primary sponsor and leading campaign in support of three 2026 Colorado ballot measures. These include Proposition 133, which would mandate life in prison for the human trafficking of minors; Proposition 134, which would require school and collegiate sports teams to be designated by biological sex; and Proposition 135, which would prohibit gender-transition surgeries for minors. Protect Kids Colorado refers to these initiatives as the "Children Are Not For Sale Act," the "Protect Girls' Sports Act," and the "Protect Kids From Sex-Change Surgeries Act," respectively. The group organized a network of over 3,000 volunteers, including outreach through more than 500 churches, to gather the signatures required to qualify all three initiatives for the ballot.
The committee has reported $160,000 in contributions across the three campaigns. The organization's public issue chairs include former gymnast Jennifer Sey and Mark "Oz" Geist.
