Make Your Voice Heard for Bold Climate Action in Colorado!

Governor Jared Polis has set a goal of reducing climate-busting carbon emissions in Colorado by 50 percent by 2030 — and by 90 percent by 2050.

And our Colorado state leaders just released a draft plan that outlines ways to achieve these targets.

So, it's important for thousands of Coloradans to make their voices heard in support of strong climate policies that help protect communities disproportionally impacted by the climate crisis, save residents money, and create new well-paying clean energy jobs.

Dear Governor Jared Polis and Colorado Air Quality Control Commission:

I'm writing to show my support for Colorado's pollution reduction goals outlined in HB19-1261.

Your draft roadmap is a positive step in the right direction. But I'm writing today to make sure that our state prioritizes bold and equitable policies to help us reach our ambitious climate goals.

I ask that you focus on policies that help:

* Improve air quality across the state and relieve burdens on communities that have historically been the most impacted by pollution and continue to be impacted the hardest by pollution 
* Ensure that communities disproportionately affected by pollution are included in the process of devising and implementing policy solutions
* Make clean energy accessible to all, and create new well-paying clean energy jobs and investments in the communities that need them most
* Ensure a just and equitable transition to a clean energy economy for workers in the fossil fuel industry and other impacted communities
* Reduce carbon emissions in the electric sector by at least 90 percent by 2030
* Curb emissions from oil and gas production by at least 54 percent below 2005 levels by 2030
* Ensure that all polluting coal plants are retired by 2025 or soon thereafter
* Make appliances and buildings more energy efficient
* Decrease transportation emissions and get more clean electric cars and trucks on Colorado roads

Coloradans like myself are already feeling the effects of climate change firsthand. Summers are getting hotter, wildfire seasons are lasting longer, ski seasons are shortening, and communities are suffering from poor air quality.

I'm counting on you to put in place strong climate policies to help bring cleaner air to communities, address environmental justice, save residents money, and boost Colorado's economic recovery with new clean energy jobs.

Thank you so much — and I hope you and your loved ones are staying healthy and safe.
