We won't be pushed backward: No on I-2117
If passed by Washington voters this fall, Initiative 2117 would repeal the Climate Commitment Act, and erase funding for myriad clean energy projects, environmental justice initiatives, and good jobs. Further, the state would be blocked from any action on capping pollution and making polluters pay for their carbon pollution moving forward.
Climate change

We need 100% fossil-free electricity. But that isn’t a blank check for nukes or hydro.

Washington has the chance this year to take a major step away from our fossil-fueled past (and the engine driving climate change), into a clean energy future. KC Golden suggests that we keep our eyes on the prize.

A coalition of more than 25 organizations sent a message to Washington state legislators calling for strong climate action, in the form of three key solutions: (1) supporting a path to 100% carbon-free electricity, (2) putting a price on carbon pollution, and (3) advancing clean fuels for transportation.

2017: The highlights were pretty bright

Yes, 2017 was an awful year in many ways. But it was also a year of transition for climate action. We and many others affirmed our ability to make progress at the speed and scale our climate crisis demands.

The setting: climate crisis. The story: clean energy on the rise.

As we mark the second anniversary of the Paris climate accord, US cities and states are maintaining momentum to do our part for emissions reduction.
