Protégete is an organizing-focused program that advocates for equitable access to a healthy environment, specifically for Colorado’s communities on the frontlines of pollution.

Protégete means “protect yourself!” We empower people of color to build a more powerful and influential voice for frontline communities who often suffer the worst environmental burdens and their associated health impacts including increased rates of asthma and respiratory disease.

By building leadership in underrepresented communities through education, mobilization, and coalition building, and electing candidates who will fight environmental injustices, we work to change the political landscape on environmental issues.
