COLORADO – In response to recent and mounting climate-related adverse events including increased wildfires, Safe & Healthy Colorado, a grassroots, volunteer-led coalition of Coloradans working toward a safer, healthier Colorado, has initiated a new campaign today spotlighting the role of oil and gas fracking in fueling the flames of wildfires and other impacts of the climate crisis on our communities. 

By Sam Killmeyer This month, 350 Northern Colorado joined coalition partners to launch the Divest CSU Campaign, calling for Colorado State University to divest its endowment from direct and indirect holdings in the fossil fuel industry. Sign the petition today to support this campaign!  The campaign is made up of students, alumni, faculty, staff, and community members working together to build a more just, sustainable future.
