Dear Guardian,

President Trump is launching an all-out war against our environment. Here in Colorado, the results will be devastating as protections for our health, air and water, and communities are stripped away.

That’s why we need our Governor to take a stand. Speak out today and tell Governor John Hickenlooper to defend Colorado against the Trump Administration’s attacks on our health and environment.

Sadly, while Trump and his fossil fuel industry cronies are tearing apart regulations to reduce carbon pollution and protect our climate, Governor Hickenlooper is backing down. Most recently, it was announced he scrapped plans to reduce carbon emissions from power plants in the state.

Instead of protecting Colorado’s climate progress, Hickenlooper is letting Trump quash clean energy on behalf of coal and fracking companies. This has to change.

Send a letter today and tell Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper to lead on climate. Tell him that Coloradans have to come first, not climate denial.

Now is not the time to run for cover. Here in Colorado, we’ve made amazing progress in advancing a clean energy economy and taken steps to reduce carbon pollution.

Yet with 60% of our electricity still coming from coal and our state’s carbon emissions actually projected to increase over the next 20 years, we have to go further if we have any chance of safeguarding our climate.

Send a letter today and tell Governor Hickenlooper that he needs to step up and lead. It’s so critical that he not let Trump’s climate denial derail climate progress.

It’s more important than ever for Colorado to continue leading on climate. With Trump’s assault on our health and environment, Governor Hickenlooper is really one of our last lines of defense.

We know the Governor can do it. For the sake of this state, our future, and our prosperity, let’s make sure he does it.

For the wild,

P.S. Read more about Governor Hickenlooper’s move to scrap plans to reduce carbon pollution in Colorado.

P.P.S. Colorado’s clean energy economy is more vibrant and prosperous than ever, it would be an utter failure of leadership if the Governor were to allow the fossil fuel industry to tear it down.
