Stronger Fracking Regulations

Although Be The Change does not support a state-wide fracking ban in Colorado, we do support stricter regulations on the industry, including closed loop fracking systems, strict limits on air emissions, comprehensive monitoring of methane emissions, ground water monitoring, and health studies of residents near fracking wells.

Community Rights

Be The Change supports the right of municipalities and counties to regulate industry and commerce within their jurisdictions, including the right to ban industries and processes they deem harmful to the health of their communities.

Climate Change Action

Be The Change supports drastic reductions in global greenhouse gas emissions and believes the U.S. should lead the world in green energy technologies – wind, solar, and energy conservation.

Strip Corporate Rights

Be The Change understands the corrosive effect that corporate power has had on our democracy, and supports Move To Amend‘s efforts to amend the U.S. Constitution to state that “Money is not Speech, and Corporations are not People.”

Single Payer Health Care

Be The Change supports Health Care For All Colorado‘s efforts to implement a universal, public, single payer health care system in Colorado, where everyone is covered and is free to choose their own doctor, but the system is managed by the state.

State-Owned Bank

North Dakota has run their own bank for close to a century, and has reaped enormous financial benefit while lending money to citizens and local businesses. Be The Change supports efforts to create a state-owned bank in Colorado based on the North Dakota model.”
