New Era Colorado is an innovative vehicle for hands-on democracy, a full-spectrum civic engagement organization which provides the resources and tools for young people to gain collective power in all levels of the democratic process, including issue organizing, electoral mobilization, and the legislative process. They are also the team responsible for shutting down a corrupt, profit-driven, state-owned power corporation, Xcel Energy, and turning their city of Boulder, Colorado towards a sustainable, green energy infrastructure. New Era Colorado has proven that these carbon-intensive, state-owned power corporations have zero interest in saving the planet, and are obsessed by one thing, and one thing only — profits. Watch in the video below how New Era Colorado pulled off this remarkable accomplishment.
