A new initiative launching this summer hopes to change that. As KUNC鈥檚 Scott Franz reports, the state鈥檚 new outdoor equity grants are helping people of color feel comfortable in nature.
Water cuts are coming to some users along the Colorado River next year. They鈥檙e not enough to keep the river鈥檚 largest reservoirs from declining though.

Earlier this month, the White House gathered stakeholders from around the country to discuss evictions in the U.S. The goal of the summit was to build on resources created during the pandemic to protect people from eviction. An organization from Colorado was invited to contribute to the conversation. Zach Neumann is the co-founder and executive director of the COVID-19 Eviction Defense Project. KUNC's Beau Baker spoke with Neumann this week about the project and the state of evictions in Colorado.
