Dear John,
Some of our Priorities for a Healthy Oregon are joining forces with more than a dozen game-changing bills to form the most comprehensive climate action package in Oregon history: the new, bipartisan Climate Resilience Package (HB 3409 and HB 3630). The House is scheduled to vote on this package today and tomorrow. Can we count on you to take action now and urge your lawmakers to vote YES on the Climate Resilience Package? [[link removed]]
The Climate Resilience Package (HB 3409 and HB 3630) is a combination of almost 20 bills to reduce climate and air pollution; support healthy, affordable, resilient communities; and create family-wage jobs across Oregon. Two of our priorities, the Resilient Efficient Buildings package (SB 868-871) and the Natural Climate Solutions bill (SB 530), are part of this new package that will invest $100 million to bring home 10 times that—up to $1 billion in federal funding to Oregonians. This new package offers real hope — that’s why it already has the support of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
We all know that the climate crisis demands bold and broad action, and we’re so grateful for everything you have done to hold strong and advance meaningful climate action so far this session. But we need your continued support as we push to make sure this package is a top priority for our lawmakers in their final days of work. [[link removed]]
We can’t afford to miss out on this once-in-a-generation opportunity to address the climate crisis. Lawmakers must act urgently to tackle Oregon’s second largest source of climate pollution — our homes and buildings — and take advantage of historic federal funding. If they don’t, Oregon won’t just leave billions of federal dollars on the table, we will leave Oregonians — especially frontline communities — vulnerable to the worsening effect of the climate crisis. And we can’t let that happen. Please write to your lawmakers today asking them to vote YES on the Climate Resilience package. [[link removed]]
