REGISTER HERE!
This spring, the Sierra Club’s Conservation Campaign is launching an engaging webinar series that brings you inside the most urgent conservation fights happening right now. You’ll get the inside scoop on the issues, hear from experts, and discover simple, meaningful ways you can take action and make a real difference.
The Endangered Species Act is the last line of defense for species facing extinction like the gray wolf, grizzly bear, salmon, and orca. Yet Trump and his allies in Congress are trying to undermine or completely erase this landmark legislation. Since being signed into law by President Nixon in the 1970s, the Endangered Species Act has been a tremendous success, restoring the populations of wildlife on the brink of extinction and providing a model to restore biodiversity across the globe. Join Sierra Club to learn about current threats to the Endangered Species Act, what we’re doing about them, and how you can help.

The Importance of Home Ownership with NAREB

Where: Virtual

Generational wealth has been hard to achieve for Black Americans because of a long history of racism, unfair policies, and ongoing inequalities. Owning a home is one of the most important ways to build wealth over time. It helps families grow their assets, offers a stable and secure place to live, and lets them make the space their own. Homeownership also brings financial advantages, like tax breaks, steady payments that protect against rising rents, and a way to build credit.

Join Mr. Ashley Thomas III, President of NAREB, as he explains why buying a home matters and how it can help close the generational wealth gap.

Mass demonstrations like 🚫👑 No Kings prove one thing beyond doubt: the people are AWAKE and FIRED UP! 🔥 But rallying in the streets is just the beginning. The real power comes from what we do after the march. Research shows that no movement with 3.5% of the population in continuous mobilization has ever failed 📊 — but only when they go beyond demonstrations into mass noncooperation, noncompliance, and strategic action that dismantles the pillars holding up authoritarianism. That’s exactly what we’re here to build. 🛠️ Come learn the organizing skills we wish we had known from the start — and let’s transform that protest energy into lasting, unstoppable change. 💪
📚🎤 Every week we feature guest speakers and training on topics like:
🛡️ How to Protest Safely 🌎 Immigrant Rights 🪶 Indigenous History 🔐 Cybersecurity ✊ Community Organizing Tactics and much more!
🌟 About Solidarity Warriors: We’re an action-focused, Indivisible group 💥 born after the November election and proud lead organizers of No Kings 2 in Denver 🏔️. We’re people from across the nation — many in Colorado — united by one commitment: action over grievance. 🎯 We don’t just talk about what’s wrong — we plan, organize, and partner with marginalized communities to make things right. ✊🏽
🚨 Come ready to answer one question: What are YOU going to DO? 👉 Join us. The movement needs you. 🗽✊🔥

How Flowers Made Our World Webinar
When: April 29, 12pm-1pm
Where: Virtual
REGISTER HERE!
Flowers are revolutionaries. When flowering plants evolved, they swiftly transformed the planet, and their productivity sustains much of life today.
From rainforests to prairies to seagrass meadows, much of the Earth’s diversity is now directly dependent on flowering plants. Without flowers, primates would not have evolved and our ancestors would never have ventured beyond the forest in grasslands.
Using examples from his latest book, How Flowers Made Our World, David Haskell will illuminate the many ways that we live on a floral planet.

Nuclear Power and Artificial Intelligence Webinar

Nuclear Power and Artificial Intelligence Webinar
Where: April 29, 4pm
Where: Virtual
REGISTER HERE!

Join experts in nuclear tech & AI to learn about the environmental impact of small modular nuclear reactors and artificial intelligence.

As the result of an executive order from the Trump administration that removes any guardrails to protect the environment, Colorado is being targeted for both new nuclear build (so-called “small modular reactors”) in Pueblo and a boom in data centers along the Front Range.
The Joanna Macy Center is honored to host two leading experts in nuclear technology and artificial intelligence in a webinar on April 29th 4PM Mountain Time. Professor MV Ramana, author of Nuclear is not the Solution: The Folly of Atomic Power in the Age of Climate Change (Verso books, 2024), and Professor Benedetta Brevini, author of Is AI Good for the Planet? (Polity publisher, 2021) will share their views and take your questions.
There is a lot of talk about a nuclear power renaissance, but for now that remains to be seen. What we do know is that the main reason for new nuclear reactors is not to provide electricity for hospitals or heating for homes, but rather to fuel industries that centralize power for the billionaire class. That is, to provide energy for artificial intelligence, cloud computing and bitcoin. None of these are necessary for life and in fact threaten the long-term health of people and local ecologies. Please join us on April 29th to learn more and understand how best to counter these dangerous proposals.

Rain Barrel Webinar: How to Choose, Install, and Maintain a Rain Barrel

Rain Barrel Webinar: How to Choose, Install, and Maintain a Rain Barrel
When: April 29, 6pm-7:30pm
Where: Virtual
REGISTER HERE!
Save water, save money, and protect water quality by installing a rain barrel at home! Installing a rain barrel is a small change that can make a big difference, providing up to hundreds of extra gallons of water each year you can use to water your grass, flowers, and trees. Collecting rainwater and putting it to use in your yard “slows the flow” of water, keeping it from becoming stormwater runoff that can pick up pollutants as it flows towards storm drains. This webinar will teach you how to choose, install, and maintain a rain barrel. We will also cover important information about the guidelines around rainwater harvesting in Colorado and have plenty of examples of what an installed rain barrel looks like.
Registration is free but required – register now for this rain barrel webinar. This webinar only includes a presentation – no rain barrels or installation kits will be distributed as part of this virtual event. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

In March 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order (EO) 14300 directing the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to relax the radiation protection regulations protecting nuclear workers and the public.
Through the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) and Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA), more than $33 billion had been paid out to victims of radiation exposures from being downwind of nuclear bomb testing or working at nuclear weapons facilities. The US Congress found that 98 percent of the radiation-related illnesses and deaths resulted from radiation exposures LESS than the federal limits. This evidence strongly suggests that the existing radiation protection limits are non-conservative and certainly do not support raising the limits to harm even more Americans.
