Hey @XcelEnergyCO, we love house plants 🌱, NOT gas plants 🔥 today we delivered a petition w/ 2,000+ signatures calling on Xcel to stop their expensive & dangerous investments in methane #gas. Now's our chance to fight for #cleanenergy instead-- drop me a 🌱 to learn more!

6 years of flooding. Homes are sinking. Families displaced. @SecretaryPete, the people of Shiloh, Alabama, deserve better. Enough is enough. #JusticeForShiloh #EnvironmentalJustice

With @XcelEnergyCO proposing a $171M rate hike for methane gas, it's time to ask: Why pass rising methane costs onto consumers instead of investing in renewable energy? Let's prioritize people over profit. #RenewablesNotRateHikes https://t.co/8Ch0KSbzkC

A brief message from our members who have been hard at work bargaining with the @SierraClub for a fair contract.

It was beautiful day to learn about why electrified buildings are the ONLY choice for a sustainable + affordable CO and how the IRA's Home Energy Rebates can fund the transition from gas to electric heating! Thanks to all who joined our Future of Healthy Homes Tour!🏡 A thread🧵

[Progressive Workers Union @PWUnion1]

Our members with the Sierra Club Ntl Unit Work Time and Leave Committee just presented to @SierraClub mgmt at the bargaining table about the need for a four day work week.

Our members know that we can work less while INCREASING our efficacy in the fight for climate justice #1u

This weekend, Sierra Club PWU leadership sent an email to Sierra Club board members voicing our concerns about the speed at which the new executive leadership appears to be pursuing major changes without collaboration with key stakeholders. 📝

Colorado planned to lease state land to Utah power company for a natural gas plant. Then protests surfaced.  https://t.co/poW7mGojEG via @coloradosun

[Colorado Sierra Club @SierraClubCO]

Big thanks to our volunteers + staff that came out to the Capitol today to rally for ratepayer relief with our partners at @copirg, @COMtnMamas, @350Colorado and more to demand lower utility rates and an end to investments in expensive gas that will help bring prices down! #coleg

“There is so much we don’t know about air quality in Pueblo and often the data collected by public agencies isn’t readily available to the public,” Jane Fraser, a coordinator for the project and former professor at Colorado State University Pueblo, said.

I don’t want to talk about SROs, I don’t want to talk about hiring more officers, I don’t want to talk about the “necessity of a neighborhood watch.” I want to talk about systemic failures, lack of resources, lack of social support, and the root issues.

[Anna McDevitt ☀️ @AnnaMcDevitt1]

The future is clean and it's electric, ya'll. We can't keep letting utilities like @xcelenergyco force us to pay big money for their outdated gas system while they make a profit. It's causing our energy bills to soar and it's taking us backwards, not forwards. #coleg

[Rep Brianna Titone - COHD27 @BriannaForCO]

I expect debate when we have bills with contentious topics but didn't on a simple Resolution. The Republicans tried to inject anti-abortion/anti-trans politics into a symbolic Resolution on the ERA. Their remarks had to be responded to which I did today
