These days, environmental justice is a buzzword, a key phrase that gets thrown around in backroom meetings and political ads. But what does it really mean? Currently, environmental justice is paid a lot of lip service, but our elected leaders and the boards and commissions delay meaningful action or implement half-measures that do nothing more in the long term than maintain the status quo.But these days, something else is happening: the communities that have always shouldered the burden of perpetual and generation-spanning environmental injustice, are not waiting passively for action.  We are demanding that our voices and stories are heard.For our children and our children’s children, we are fighting for a future where all Coloradans have clean air to breathe, safe water to drink, and a thriving planet to call home.
