Colorado's newest and most expensive coal plant is still broken, and @XcelEnergyCO is hiding what should be public information on the repairs, cost and pollution. Time for the Colorado PUC to pull back the curtain. #NoMoreXcelSecrets cpr.org/2026/03/31/col…

#AirPollution can lead to increased cancer risk, asthma, and heart disease. Hear from Dr. Maria Chansky on why strong protections through Reg 30 are essential to protect public health: youtube.com/watch?v=mlesH1…

Data centers aren’t just a tech issue – they’re a public health issue. Air pollution. Water strain. Energy costs. HAWC Advocate Dr. Simona Martin breaks down why Colorado needs strong #datacenter guardrails 👇 boulderreportinglab.org/2026/03/22/sim…

“Collective action is not just mobilization in the moment but alignment over time.” Through long-term shared accountability, courage, care, and community, we can strengthen our capacity to meet the challenges we’re facing. #OPOH26
