Colorado Public Radio Spotlights Toilet Equity's Public Health Mission

We're honored to be featured by Colorado Public Radio in a story exploring one of the most overlooked public health challenges facing communities across Colorado: access to safe, reliable restrooms.

The article follows our team into the field as we clean up human waste near encampments and work to expand toilet access for people who have nowhere else to go. Along the way, it highlights an important reality: when people don't have access to toilets, the consequences affect everyone, from the dignity and health of those living outside to the safety of our parks, waterways, and public spaces.

We're grateful to Colorado Public Radio and reporter Stina Sieg for taking the time to understand the complexity of this work and for helping bring this conversation to listeners across the state.

Thank you to everyone who makes this work possible: our host sites, volunteers, staff, donors, and community partners. Every clean toilet, every bin emptied, and every new partnership helps create a healthier, more dignified community for all of us.

As more people recognize that sanitation is essential infrastructure, we're excited to keep building practical, compassionate solutions right here in Mesa County.
