350 Colorado is a local grassroots organization building a powerful climate and clean energy movement across the state... 
Because there is NO PLANET B. 

We are at a momentous time, on the cusp of creating a clean energy future or one that continues business as usual.

In response, 350CO is taking bold climate action by activating volunteers, youth, and frontline communities across the state to shape a new narrative, one that is working towards a climate-just future WITHOUT fossil fuels. 

Your support will directly provide communities across Colorado with a framework to organize successful campaigns to advance climate justice and ensure a clean and safe climate for ALL future generations. 

We focus on 4 major campaigns including:

- Movement Building

- Keeping Fossil Fuels in the Ground

- Defunding Climate Disasters

- Promoting Local Solutions.

Over the last 10 years, because of supporters like YOU, 350CO has established itself as the largest Colorado-based grassroots organization focused on solving the climate crisis.

Since its formation, the organization has grown to be a movement of over 20,000 activists across the state, with more than 50 local team leaders, 17+ paid organizers, and hundreds of committee and team volunteers.


Mission

350 Colorado is working locally to help build the global grassroots movement to solve the climate crisis and transition to a sustainable future.

Background Statement

350 Colorado (350CO) was created during a national campaign by 350.org in 2009 to develop a massive network of local grassroots groups organizing to solve the climate crisis. The mountain-west campaign, led by organizer Micah Parkin, flourished and 350CO grew to become one of the largest local groups in the U.S.

In tandem, the climate crisis brought tragedy to thousands of Colorado homes. Years of record-breaking wildfires, floods, and temperatures, combined with Colorado's hydraulic fracturing (fracking boom), made it clear that a strategic investment in 350CO was necessary to advance local and national climate goals.

In 2013, Executive Director Micah Parkin and a board of volunteer leaders from around the state filed for 501c3 status. Since then we have established ourselves as the largest Colorado-based grassroots network focused on taking action to stop climate change.

WHAT WE ARE WORKING TO ACCOMPLISH:

*A fossil-free future*

In order to avoid the most devastating impacts of the climate crisis, no new fossil fuels can be brought online. To be a true leader in climate action, Colorado must stop fossil fuel extraction, production, and investments.

*A just & equitable transition*

We are demanding solutions that protect our most vulnerable communities and workers. Together we are working to dismantle oppressive systems that enable poverty, racism, and inequity.

*Creative climate solutions*

From renewable energy to regenerative agriculture, we are working at the local and state level to ensure Colorado has clear and immediate pathways to reduce emissions and secure 100% clean, renewable energy for all.

*A liveable climate for all*

All Coloradans deserve a safe and liveable environment to grow up in. Help us protect the places and people we love so Colorado's beauty can be enjoyed by future and present generations.
