Concerned about the attempted Coup at the Nation’s Capital? Join a statewide discussion group Monday evening. 350WA.org will meet Jan. 11,2021 @ 6:00pm.
We’ll gather from 350 local groups across the whole PNW to engage in dialogue with each other exploring the meaning of this moment, how the racial disparities that played out in the Capitol’s policing are tied to the climate crisis, how to care for ourselves and our communities in this time, and what actions may be called for.
350 WA+ Conversations: Monday, January 11th @ 6-7:30pm PT

2021 Legislative Priorities: So, what do we want to see happen in this legislature?

What about Carbon Pricing? We understand that carbon pricing is probably the one policy issue on our 2021 legislative priorities that is likely to need some deep engagement, learning, analysis, and conversation to help us come to a consensus on what our advocacy looks like on this as a Network. With a “Cap and Invest” bill coming from Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon that he claims to be a “gold standard of environmental justice”, and a Washington Strong green recovery bond approach both being presented this session, we want to be sure to support the best and most equitable carbon pricing policy possible.
