We are a volunteer organization.
Our mission: To promote the protection of threatened natural resources – in particular the climate – vital for healthy communities, a healthy ecosystem and a sustainable economy in Washington.
To forward our mission we promote policies, legislation, platforms, positions, resolutions and endorsements within the 43rd District Democrats. We also partner with other organizations who share our values and goals.
Our work on climate is guided by these points:
- Policy must be rooted in principles of equity and climate justice.
- Greenhouse gas emissions must start dropping now to reach the needed reduction target of 45% by 2030.
- We need bold policy for the built environment, energy production and transportation.
- We must oppose new fossil fuel infrastructure and keep fossil fuels in the ground.
We support candidates and elected officials at all levels of government who champion protection of Washington’s natural resources, particularly the climate. Our goal for climate action is substantial clean energy, energy efficiency and clean transportation policy. In addition we work with community groups and media outlets to raise awareness of our endangered ecosystem, especially the climate, and to advocate for solutions.
