From Indivisible about the Event:
On May 6th, 114 PEOPLE WERE "LAID OFF" FROM THE NATL RENEWABLE ENERGY LAB (NREL) IN GOLDEN. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), is known worldwide as the "scientific gold standard for renewable energy." Like NOAA, NREL plays a critical role in Colorado’s economy and in environmental protection nationwide. And NREL's remaining scientists, staff and projects ARE STILL UNDER THREAT from huge looming cuts. https://www.cpr.org/2025/05/05/nrel-layoffs/

Colorado knows: Protests can change minds and spread COURAGE! So let's show our support for these scientists & their missions.
What CO LEADERS are saying about NREL CUTS:
US Rep Joe Neguse: “From NOAA to NIST and now NREL, this administration’s relentless attacks on the federal workforce continue to have disastrous impacts on our state’s hardworking scientists and researchers,” Neguse told CPR News: “I’ll continue to stand firmly against the senseless, short-sighted dismantling of these critical agencies and push back against efforts being muscled through Congress that would further gut the support these institutions rely on.”
Democratic US Rep Brittany Petterson: “This is a direct result of the instability and dysfunction of the Trump administration and Coloradans are paying the price. This is going to have cascading effects on our community and local economy – NREL provides critical research every day and supports clean and affordable energy. My office stands ready to support the employees affected and so many other federal workers whose livelihoods have been threatened by Trump’s reckless layoffs.”
