Sign on to the letter regarding City of Durango Sustainability Fee
We are asking Durango City Council for 2 things, to help us meet our sustainability goals.
-
Elevate the authority of the Sustainability Dept.
-
Increase funding of the sustainability department through adjusting the sustainability fee on our City utility bill to a percentage.
Please sign onto the letter (link to letter). The link includes a detailed explanation of the reasons for this request. The deadline for obtaining signatures is July 31st. As this is not a formal request, feel free to sign the letter even if you are not a City of Durango resident. If you have difficulty accessing the google form or do not have a Google account, email Emelie Frojen at: emelie@sanjuancitizens.org
100+ for the Earth
Please take our survey 100+ for the Earth Survey Link
What: Some local folks would like to start a local group to raise money for mostly local environmental nonprofits.
Why: Only 3% of charitable giving goes to environmental organizations. Before we start this project, we want to see if there is enough interest. Thank you!!
Workforce Housing YIMBY
The Durango Herald has reported that residents in some local neighborhoods have expressed significant opposition to the City’s proposal to build workforce housing in their neighborhood. One way to support local workforce housing is to have a 'YIMBY' group, meaning 'Yes, in my backyard', to show up at select Planning Commission meetings to speak in favor of proposed Affordable and Workforce Housing projects. These YIMBY groups started in 2014, and are now nation-wide. We also want to encourage the City to invite folks who may live in this housing to attend these meetings. Anyone interested in being a member of the “YIMBY” group, please contact us.

Let him know you are unhappy with his vote on HR 1 (Budget Reconciliation), which cut Medicaid, food assistance, dramatically increased funding for ICE and many other things; and HR 4 (Rescissions Bill), which defunded the Corp. for Public Broadcasting and a lot of International Aid.
