ACTION—Boulder County owns 105 acres at Haystack Mountain (5655 Niwot Rd.). This mountain is sacred to many Native tribes. Rick Williams (Lakota & Cheyenne) of People of the Sacred Land said that the tribes would like to have access to this land to establish a Cultural Center there.
It might be possible to follow the model of the Tall Bull Memorial Grounds, an area in Daniels Park reserved for Native Americans to use for ceremonies, powwows, and other activities. This land is owned by Denver Mountain Parks Foundation.
Contact the Boulder County Commissioners, Marta Loachamin, Clair Levy, and Ashley Stolzmann at commissioners@bouldercounty.gov and urge them to grant co-management of Haystack Mountain Open Space to Native Peoples.
Knowledge Keepers Witness how Native North Americans have generated scientific knowledge over thousands of years. (PBS Video 53 min. HERE )
In a fascinating exploration of human ingenuity, see how indigenous communities in North America have long practiced a distinct version of science and engineering. This journey reveals how deeply-held cultural traditions inform remarkable innovations, from ancient sea farming techniques that optimize ecosystems to celestial navigation methods perfectly adapted to extreme environments like the frozen Arctic. Centuries of observation, experimentation, and adaptation have forged solutions to complex challenges like living in the harsh climate of the desert Southwest.

The Design School for Regenerating Earth HERE.
Joe Brewer's book, The Design Pathway for Regenerating Earth, shows both the seriousness of the predicament we are in and demonstrates that it really is possible to regenerate the Earth at the scales needed. The pathway: organize ourselves around holistic, integrated landscapes known as bioregions, and connect those bioregions into a planetary network with learning exchanges between them. At the heart of all this is bioregional learning — how to live in your life-place harmoniously with the rest of the ecological community that also calls the bioregion their home.
Connecting with Earth: ACTIVITIES
Oct.. Go beyond seeing Nature as backdrop or beautiful view -- step into intimate relationship and heart communication with tree(s), plants, water, clouds, animals. Meditate, eat your meals, do your yoga or qigong outdoors!

Oct 1st, Thurs. 6:00 - 8:00 PM MT Join CIRC [Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition] for a racial justice centered webinar led by Transformative Alliances LLC! You care about immigrant justice. But are your actions helpful or harmful?
Many U.S.-born white people are deeply concerned about ongoing anti-immigrant attacks and want to show up in solidarity with immigrant communities. However, good intentions do not prevent harm, and U.S.-born white people can reproduce the very nationalism and racism they seek to fight. Often U.S.-born white people centering their own urgency are, depleting the resources of immigrant led organizations, making flawed assumptions about what immigrant communities need.
This 2-hour webinar is an opportunity to examine these patterns and start disrupting them. We will explore how nationalism and racism show up in seemingly well-intentioned behavior, how white privilege and dominance can operate in volunteer and organizational spaces, and how U.S.- born white people can begin changing their behavior to reduce harm and contribute more effectively to immigrant justice. It is about taking responsibility for the impact of one’s actions.
The webinar will be facilitated by Dara Burwell and Nicole Hurt of Transformative Alliances LLC, experienced facilitators and equity practitioners. While anyone can register for this webinar, it is designed for U.S.-born white people who want to support immigrant justice : Online via Zoom - Register HERE
Oct 4 Sun. 4:00 - 5:30 pm Protect Our Soil & Seeds: Stop the Spray! Meeting & Action
The County Commissioners voted 2-1, with Commissioner Ashley Stolzmann in opposition, to end the pause on aerial Indaziflam (Rejuvra) and Imazapic (Plateau) spraying in the Red Hill area.. Drone applications of Rejuvra and Plateau are planned to start in early November.
1. ACTION Send a message to the Commissioners
Commissioner Levy and Loachamin (commissioners@bouldercounty.gov) need to hear from you that they are not delivering the care our community expects. We need them to use taxpayer money to protect the community, not to serve the interests of big corporations like Bayer. Instead of cutting children's programs and impacting low-income programs, our Commissioners need to halt drone herbicide spraying over our Boulder County Parks and Open Space natural lands, as the spraying does not meet Boulder County funding criteria. The herbicide drone spraying: is not legally required (cheatgrass is a List C weed) does not benefit our community and our local ecosystem, but instead is actually highly toxic generates strong community opposition (see petition) does not deliver its intended outcome
2. Join the Meeting Oct 4 Sun. 4-5:30 pm Protect Our Soil & Seeds: Stop the Spray! Yellow Barn, 9417 North Foothills Hwy, Longmont (towards Lyons) More info and RSVP HERE.

Protect Colorado communities from the impacts of data center development!
Sign the petition to the Public Utilities Commission about data center regulation: Colorado customers should not have to pay the costs or take on the risks of Xcel serving large energy users, and our communities should not bear the burden of more pollution, fossil fuel use or pressure on already limited water supplies. Urge the Commission to put people before profits and adopt a strong Large Load Tariff and Clean Transition Tariff that protect Coloradans, make large energy users pay their fair share and ensure our energy future is clean, affordable and fair.

Help protect Aurora, Colorado from an experimental nuclear micro-reactor project at Buckley Space Force Base (SFB).
Send a message to Colorado senators and local elected officials asking for their help to stop Federal plans to install a mobile nuclear "micro-reactor" near homes and schools at Buckley SFB in Aurora and launch operations by 2028. Because:
Installing and operating reactors can release radiation that would increase cancer risk for the people of Aurora who have had no opportunity to weigh in on this project.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has undergone massive staffing cuts and is proposing to weaken radiation exposure standards.
The selected contractor, a six-year old startup called Radiant Nuclear, has never operated a commercial nuclear reactor before, and has received criticism of their reactor development in Wyoming.
Unfortunately, Colorado's US Senators, John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet, and Aurora's US Congressperson, Jason Crow, appear to support the reactor plan. Aurora city council members, Mayor Coffman and state legislators from the area have taken no public position to date.
Please speak out now to stop this irresponsible threat to community health and safety before it becomes a fact on the ground. Take action HERE
AI and SCHOOLS -- from National Campaign for Justice and from Public School Strong:
Congress hasn’t set national rules for how AI should be used in K-12 schools. So 98 students representing all 50 states came together to write their own.
At the Edward M. Kennedy Institute in Boston, the students developed and voted on a national AI policy for schools called the Students First Act. It passed 82-16. Their proposal will now be shared with American Assoc. of School Administrators of more than 10,000 school system leaders and superintendents across the country.
There are important parts of their proposal which Congress should act on right now --specifically calling on lawmakers to take the Students First Act’s protections and standards for teachers and school administrators and introduce matching federal legislation.
For teachers, that means clear written policies explaining how AI can be used in their classrooms and protecting human judgment over critical decisions.
Send this letter to state lawmakers HERE. Please speak up locally in your neighborhood school and at the Board level.

BALLOT Measures:
Nearly half of this year’s 13 initiatives are sponsored by Advance Colorado, a right-wing “dark money” group that does not disclose its donors. In recent years, as Republicans have fallen far short of competing for legislative majorities at the state Capitol, Advance Colorado has been highly active in attempting to pass conservative policies through the ballot box instead.

Vote No on Colorado Amendment 82! 82 Would Enshrine Oil and Gas Interests in Our State Constitution
Using and selling natural gas is already legal in Colorado! This sneaky effort would permanently handcuff Colorado's ability to hold corporate polluters accountable, give them a powerful new tool to overturn rules that limit toxic water pollution and methane gas fracking near our homes and schools, prioritize their profits over our safety, and undermine beneficial electrification.

NO on Colorado’s Amendment 83, the deceptively-named “Right to Hunt,” Delia Malone, president of ColoradoWild, talks about how it may bring back leghold traps, snares, cyanide bombs, and hunting bears with hounds and bait. More HERE
Vote NO on 134 and 135 Info in articles HERE
Vote No on Colorado Ballot Measure 137 (Logging Ballot Measure) that would divert a sales tax to fund potentially millions more acres of public lands industrial logging in endangered species habitat, old-growth forest, and protected Roadless Areas, all under the promotion of recreation and “conservation.”
It is not based on scientific studies of wildfire mitigation practices. High-severity wildfire, which causes the vast majority of property destruction and loss of life, is a product of weather (drought, high temperatures) and wind, not forest density.
Prop. 137 backers include the out-of-state Walton/WalMart family and corporate foundation-funded NGOs, Western Resource Advocates, Conservation Colorado, The Nature Conservancy and others that promote logging public lands.
NO on Proposition 137 It is opposed by the Colorado Democratic Party, League of Women Voters, and Indivisible Colorado; pro-nature conservation groups such as Center for Biological Diversity, WildEarth Guardians, and Western Watersheds Project; the state’s most reputable independent scientists; and Colorado’s grassroots conservation community.
