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.

Meet Noe, Denver Organizer at Protégete. Over the past two years he has been organizing in the Far Northeast. Communities like Globeville, Elyria- Swansea, Montbello and Green Valley Ranch. He is working with community members to take action on air pollution and climate change. Noe grew up in a community much like these. The air was polluted, water was required to be filters and asphalt and cement covered the land.
Protégete is working to protect Colorado's public health and ensure Latino communities are heard as we act on climate change. Each week we will introduce a member of the team. We want you to get to know us and we want to give you the opportunity to take action.
We will also ask you to take action on issues such as Air Pollution, Water Issues or Protecting Public Lands. Together we can protect our communities from the impacts of Climate Change. Below is an opportunity to take action for the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission on the new mission change and rule makings.
