Ecofestival at Commerce City and a protest of the Suncor refinery
Jul 27, 2021
There were the political speeches last Saturday afternoon at a park in Commerce City at an event billed as EcoFiesta, one geared to the substantial Hispanic population of that area. Ian Tafoya of Green Latinos spoke, as did Lucy Molina, a resident and community organizer and several others.

The messages were directed at the Suncor refinery, located a mile or three to the west and one of the reasons that the zip code along I-70 between I-25 and Colorado Boulevard has been deemed perhaps the most polluted in the country.
Shaina Oliver of Moms Clean Air Force and EcoMadres was among the speakers.
Colorado 350 and the Sierra Club were among the organizers.
Why support Big Pivots?
You need and value solid climate change reporting, and also the energy & water transitions in Colorado. Because you know that strong research underlies solid journalism, and research times take.
Plus, you want to help small media, and Big Pivots is a 501(c)3 non-profit.
Big grants would be great, but they’re rare for small media. To survive, Big Pivots needs your support. Think about how big pivots occur. They start at the grassroots. That’s why you should support Big Pivots. Because Big Pivots has influence in Colorado, and Colorado matters in the national conversation.
