Thanks to Bob and Kay Parker of Coaldale, Colorado for sharing the following speech offered in Fremont County, Colorado this past week. Bob and Kay, who are 350 Colorado Board members as well as leaders of 350 Central Colorado shared why they feel it is so important to vote yes on Proposition #112.

With elections around the corner, Colorado is at a divisive time in its history addressing climate change. From fracking to more frequent severe weather events, climate change is happening in our backyards. The most rapid way of getting officials in our communities to respond to climate justice is by grassroots people power.

We have just 4 weeks left until statewide ballots are mailed, and we need your help to make sure that Colorado Rising Proposition #112 for 2,500’ safer setbacks between fracking and our homes, schools, playgrounds and water sources wins this November! To win this November 6th, we’re going to need everyone possible pitching in between now and Nov.
