** I. Spotlight: Climate Fundraiser with Andrew Romanoff and More
------------------------------------------------------------

This week ([link removed]) we went from record-breaking heat, smoke from fires covering our state, and ash raining down on Greeley and Longmont, to a snowstorm in less than 30 hours.

The effects of climate change are real, and we are witnessing them with our own eyes.

That's why this Thursday, September 17th, at 7 PM (MT) ([link removed]) we are hosting a discussion with some of the State's most ferocious climate leaders like former Speaker of the CO State House Andrew Romanoff, Climate Activist Diana Bray, with more TBA, for an exclusive discussion on the state of CO climate justice and how YOU can join the fight for a greener Colorado.

Attorney General Phil Weiser has joined 13 other states in filing a federal request for an injunction ([link removed]) against the Trump Administration, seeking to prevent the U.S. Postal Service from making disruptive policy changes before the November election.

“We are fighting for an enforceable court order that ensures that the harm that has already occurred is corrected and prevents the Postmaster General from playing games with the mail service in the future,” Weiser said in a statement.


Colorado Sun- Judge dismisses lawsuit seeking to hold up blue book printing over Gallagher Amendment language ([link removed])

A Denver District Court judge on Friday morning dismissed a lawsuit attempting to delay printing of the state-issued voter guide because of changes state lawmakers made to language describing the question on the November ballot seeking to repeal the Gallagher Amendment.

Colorado public schools and universities can apply for financial help from a newly launched $32 million fund created by Gov. Jared Polis that’s intended to support learning institutions and students hit hardest by COVID-19.

“What this $32 million is designed to do is to go to the areas most impacted, because in many ways, COVID-19 accentuated the already existing achievement gap that falls along income, race and geography,” Polis said in an interview Wednesday.
