Mountain Mamas envision a future with clean air and water for our families, climate justice for all communities, and protected public lands that allow our children to enjoy our outdoor quality of life for generations to come.
Every day we get closer to making our vision a reality by organizing Mamas across the Rocky Mountains. Mountain Mamas is showing up at the Public Utilities Commission, educating families about their options, and fighting for cleaner, more affordable energy that keeps our kids healthy. Your Colorado Gives donation directly fuels this work.
Please give today to help protect Colorado families and ensure a healthier future for our children. This work takes time and resources, and your support truly matters.
Why Your Gift Matters for Colorado Families Right Now
As parents, we all want clean air, safe homes, and a climate that protects our kids now and in the future. We are also juggling rising costs, and with utilities taking up a bigger share of family budgets, this is one place where our voices can make a real difference.
Right now Colorado families are feeling the squeeze of rising utility bills, and the choices we make today will shape our energy costs for decades. Xcel’s new Gas Infrastructure Plan outlines billions of dollars in new pipelines and system expansions. If approved, these projects would be paid for by Colorado families through long-term increases in monthly bills.
These investments also delay our state’s transition to cleaner, healthier energy. New pipelines have lifespans of 30 to 70 years, meaning communities would be locked into volatile gas prices and continued pollution while cleaner and more affordable technologies already exist but are not widely accessible. This is a critical moment for families to speak up and demand better.

Mission
The Mountain Mamas protect our air, water, climate and public lands for future generations.
Background Statement
It’s simple: Colorado Mountain Mamas want to leave a better, healthier, cleaner world for our kids and their kids. That’s why we advocate on their behalf for our outdoor quality of life. We’re making the air healthier for our kids today while also fighting the climate crisis that threatens their tomorrow. Colorado Mountain Mamas achieves our vision by working toward three initiatives:
1) Clean air for healthy, growing lungs
2) A clean climate and restorative justice for a thriving future for all
3) Protection for, and equitable access to, our public lands for future generations.
That combination is what will ensure Colorado is a place where all families can thrive, and children can grow up healthy no matter their neighborhood. To us, mamas include trans women, gender nonconforming people, non-binary people, cis women, and any other person who finds themselves identifying in some way with the incredible label of “mom.”
