Build Back Better — a Western Slope perspective
It’s been in the news all year and now is the center of a Congressional stalemate. But what exactly is the Build Back Better Plan and what does it mean for Western Colorado? If you have been trying to follow along with all the goings-on in Washington D.C. and felt a bit at sea, we invite you to a conversation regarding this much talked about legislation and its impact on our lives and region.
Join us for Passing Federal Climate Action: A Western Slope Perspective, a free, online meeting, on October 14 from 6-7 pm. We’ll have participants from Western Colorado Alliance, as well as the Western Organization of Resource Councils (WORC), the Bluegreen Alliance Foundation, the Colorado Fiscal Institute, and Healthier Colorado. You’ll hear from local and regional experts about the current state of play in DC, the path forward for federal climate action, and potential impacts to the Western Slope.
We expect this will be a very lively and informative conversation about the climate impacts of this historic legislation! Please register for this event here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZItdOGrrT0qE9NAWIyWAES8xKCDEvc5dTJ0.
Emily stepped up as our staff director in 2017, but originally joined our team as a community organizer in 2013. Born and raised on the Western Slope, Emily graduated from Colorado State University and then had the privilege of learning from and working alongside organizers in Central and South America as well as Appalachian coal country. They returned to their home state to protect the land they love and work with fellow Coloradans for a healthy, just and self-reliant future for our rural communities. Emily enjoys organizing, exploring the Colorado Plateau, country music and punk concerts with equal passion.
