350 Wenatchee Climate Conversations NCW

 

Good evening, CATs! Here’s our weekly volunteer update.

 

We are just over a month away from the start of the Washington State legislative session!

 

Now it’s time to get all of our volunteers plugged into Teams & Roles and cross trained up for the important work we’ll carry together during session.

 

Together, we are going to make it possible for thousands of people across Washington to take tens of thousands of advocacy actions on sound and just climate policy.

 

Please be sure to check out these awesome resources.
