Phase Out Fracking Action Hour Sept. 25
From our friends at 350 Colorado: Join the volunteer Action Hour on Monday Sept. 25 at 5pm to get in on the action to Phase Out Fracking in Colorado! Catch the latest updates on the ballot initiative, connect with others in the movement, and plug into direct action to get the Fracking Phase Out on the 2024 Colorado ballot!
350 Colorado is proud to be a part of the Safe & Healthy Colorado coalition building the movement for a 2024 statewide ballot initiative to Phase Out Fracking Permits in Colorado by 2030!
- The Phase Out Fracking ballot initiative will require a gradual decrease in the number of new fracking permits each year starting in 2026 and ending with no more new permits after 2030!
- The ballot initiative requires permits to decrease in disproportionately impacted areas first, and includes support for a just transition, training, and reskilling for affected workers.
- Oil and gas fracking is the #1 source of pollution in Colorado causing the climate crisis and the ‘severe’ ozone air quality issues along Colorado’s front range. Phasing Out Fracking is necessary for Colorado to meet our environmental justice and climate goals.
- Despite industry claims, oil & gas contributes less than 1% of total employment in Colorado and only about 3% of our GDP, while pollution from oil & gas operations in Colorado will cause over $13 billion in damages between 2020 and 2030 (1.5 times the total taxes and fees oil & gas brings to Colorado).
- To win this groundbreaking and necessary ballot initiative and Phase Out Fracking in Colorado for good, we need YOU! To win it, we need an army of people to step up and pitch in. Join us!
Join the upcoming volunteer Action Hour and get in on the action to Phase Out Fracking in Colorado! Monday Sept. 25th, 5-6pm. Register here and bring a friend! The Volunteer Action Hour will be every other Monday at 5pm. Join us for a short, sweet, and impactful hour of action!
Onward,
