Local Denver Campaigns that need your support!

350 Denver has a few long term campaigns we are putting our time and efforts into. All we are missing is you! Remember, to change everything we need everyone!

  • Suncor Energy contributes greatly to air and water pollution in Commerce City, Elyria-Swansea, and North Denver. Its is a classic case of environmental racism as the surrounding community is majority Latinx. It also is a major contributor to the 80216 area code being the most polluted in the country. Our Suncor Action Committee is committed to educating the residents of these communities about the public health risks Suncor creates. We also work to oppose plant permit operating renewals and pipelines associated with the company in an effort to shut down this major polluter in Denver. Our Suncor Action Committee meets virtually every other Monday from 4-5 pm, please refer to this 350 Colorado events calendar for access to the zoom call!
  • The Denver team has started a series of bilingual trainings for communities that request it. Topics include (but are not limited to) giving public comment, environmental and public health effects of pollution, and environmental justice. So far, we have complete a training on giving public comment in Commerce City and will be hosting another shortly in Aurora. If your community would like a training to be given in your area, or if you are looking to get involved in a volunteer capacity, email melissa@350colorado.org
  • 350 Denver is working with Divest DU to force the University of Denver to divest from fossil fuels! Millions of dollars worth of endowments are funneled annually into an industry that contributes to climate change, environmental degradation, environmental injustice, and public health issues. All the while, DU preaches and teaches the importance of sustainability and environmental protection. Join us in calling out this hypocrisy and calling on DU to divest from fossil fuels – sign the petition now!
