No coal bailout banner
What part of "no more coal" doesn't Trump understand?
Washington State is so over coal. We banned it from our power plants, from our ports—and from our air and water. The Trump administration's heavy-handed attempt to keep coal alive in the Northwest is backward-looking and unlawful. That's why we're fighting back.

Working together, we can make sure Oregon seizes the day. Here’s a rundown of several priorities and upcoming events in 2015.

Climate action: unstoppable

On Tuesday, hearing rooms at the State Capitol in Olympia were overflowing with people waiting to tell legislators that it's time for climate action. Join us this Saturday in Olympia or Seattle to learn more about proposed climate legislation in WA.

Stand with the Lummi Nation against coal export

How a strip club becomes a climate justice solution

Working together, local groups in Portland's Cully neighborhood are redefining sustainability and development as an anti-poverty strategy.  

How we keep going: Lather, rinse, repeat.

In perseverance, in humility, and in gratitude: that's how we keep making progress.

Thank you! Climate leadership on display in Portland

The New Economy Get-Together @ Impact HUB

The New Economy Get-Together is a flagship event of the national New Economy Week 2015. Now in its third year, and for the first time with a Seattle event, New Economy Week 2015 will challenge us to explore what systemic change really looks like. We hope that by drawing attention to big ideas and concrete examples of real solutions, we will expand the public conversation and what's politically possible, bringing us closer to a just, sustainable, and democratic society.

Indigenous Climate Justice Symposium

The 1st annual Indigenous Climate Justice Symposium will be held at The Evergreen State College Longhouse on November 5-6, 2015. It will bring together speakers from Native communities that are working to keep fossil fuels in the ground, by stopping coal terminals, oil trains and fracking, and protecting treaty resources from the threat of climate change. Its major goal would be to get students and youth, particularly tribal youth, involved in community-based climate justice efforts. All events are free and open to Evergreen students and the public.

We need to deal. Now.

We need to wage and win a clean energy revolution—a bold and just transition from fossil fuels to clean energy. Fossil fuel industries are working against us, but together we can stand up and get the job done.
