100% for climate: join us in Olympia Jan 22

We’re making plans now to head to Olympia on January 22, to make sure that Washington State leads on climate and clean energy.
 
Join us for the 100% For Climate lobby day: January 22 at the State Capitol!
 
The fossil fuel industry has a powerful influence not only in Washington DC, but also in Olympia. That’s why we need to push forward here and now—accelerating real solutions to the climate crisis, starting in our own state and our own region. We need to make sure our state legislators understand that this Washington can and must lead on climate.

Washington state has a history of innovation, and we are proud that our region is clean and green. Washington can be a national and global leader in the transition to clean energy; and we can make sure that we do it in an equitable way.

Jan. 22 will be a huge day of action on climate change. People from across Washington will come together in Olympia, along with a powerful coalition of organizations standing together for climate action.
 
We’re standing up for 100 percent clean energy; for putting a price on carbon pollution; and for a clean fuels standard to move beyond oil.  And we’re delivering that message directly to our elected legislators, in their offices at the State Capitol. Our voices our powerful together—don’t miss this important day!
