Join a march and rally in support of six Colorado youth plaintiffs who a brought lawsuit against the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission to protect their health and safety from fracking and climate disaster. The youth argue the Commission has a statutory and constitutional obligation to prioritize protection of public health and the environment over oil and gas development. Meanwhile, the Commission has made clear that it will not put the public’s health and safety and the environment ahead of fossil fuel interests in fracking.
The young plaintiffs, members of Earth Guardians supported by attorneys with Our Children’s Trust, believe this case is critical for stopping dangerous fracking, which threatens water supplies, air quality, the climate system, and consequently public health and safety.

The media has not covered this story enough. A strong show of support will bring much needed attention to this pivotal case.
On the following day Feb. 21 lawyers representing the youth plaintiffs, and lawyers for the Commission and fossil fuel industry, will make oral arguments before the Colorado Court of Appeals in Denver.
