Support Climate Action NOW! Later is too Late!

Colorado stands at a pivotal moment: continue down the path to climate chaos or choose a safe, healthy, and clean energy future that we can build together.

The need for a fast and fair transition to renewable energy—and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions—is critical to protect our climate and communities. For over a decade, 350 Colorado has been a persistent voice advocating for this shift. We work tirelessly to build a powerful climate movement, keep fossil fuels in the ground, defund climate disaster, and champion sustainable climate solutions.

The urgency couldn’t be clearer. From the latest IPCC report to calls from scientists worldwide, the message is resounding: we must act quickly to avoid extreme temperatures. Yet Colorado still lacks a plan to phase out new oil and gas (fracking) production, our #1 source of climate pollution and the cause of our "severe"-rated air quality issues. Reaching our climate goals will require a clear plan to phase out fossil fuels.

And you’re a crucial part of this action.

Now is the time for grassroots organizations like ours to lead the charge for a just transition, ensuring that our communities, workers, and those most impacted aren’t left behind by big polluters. Your donation today will help secure a clean energy future.

Because of supporters like you, 350 Colorado has grown into the largest Colorado-based grassroots organization dedicated to solving the climate crisis. Over the past 11 years, we have mobilized over 20,000 activists statewide, built 5 local teams, and recruited hundreds of dedicated committee and local team volunteers—all advancing our mission to solve the climate crisis and transition to a clean renewable energy future.

Our four major campaigns are:
Building the Climate Movement
Keeping Fossil Fuels in the Ground
Defunding Climate Disaster
Promoting Local Climate Solutions

Help us continue this critical work and accelerate the fight for climate justice. Donate today!


Giving Activity

Mission

350 Colorado is working locally to help build the global grassroots movement to solve the climate crisis and transition to a sustainable future.

Background Statement

350 Colorado (350CO) was created during a national campaign by 350.org in 2009 to develop a massive network of local grassroots groups organizing to solve the climate crisis. The mountain-west campaign, led by organizer Micah Parkin, flourished and 350CO grew to become one of the largest local groups in the U.S.

In tandem, the climate crisis brought tragedy to thousands of Colorado homes. Years of record-breaking wildfires, floods, and temperatures, combined with Colorado's hydraulic fracturing (fracking boom), made it clear that a strategic investment in 350CO was necessary to advance local and national climate goals.

In 2013, Executive Director Micah Parkin and a board of volunteer leaders from around the state filed for 501c3 status. Since then we have established ourselves as the largest Colorado-based grassroots network focused on taking action to stop climate change.

WHAT WE ARE WORKING TO ACCOMPLISH:

*A fossil-free future*

In order to avoid the most devastating impacts of the climate crisis, no new fossil fuels can be brought online. To be a true leader in climate action, Colorado must stop fossil fuel extraction, production, and investments.

*A just & equitable transition*

We are demanding solutions that protect our most vulnerable communities and workers. Together we are working to dismantle oppressive systems that enable poverty, racism, and inequity.

*Creative climate solutions*

From renewable energy to regenerative agriculture, we are working at the local and state level to ensure Colorado has clear and immediate pathways to reduce emissions and secure 100% clean, renewable energy for all.

*A liveable climate for all*

All Coloradans deserve a safe and liveable environment to grow up in. Help us protect the places and people we love so Colorado's beauty can be enjoyed by future and present generations.
