Bellevue College’s annual Earth Month Market is
coming up Wednesday, April 17th from 11:30am to 1:30pm. We’ll be
bringing local, sustainability focused organizations to campus to table and
vend, and we would love to have you join us. This year, our theme is
‘Decarbonize!’ We’ll be focusing on opportunities for climate action
within our campus community. 350 Eastside will have a table and you are invited to join us!
Farm Action Fund are seeking to build opposition from state representatives to the Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression (EATS) Act, a bill currently being considered by Congress for inclusion in the upcoming Farm Bill. The EATS Act (S.2019/H.R.4417) poses a direct threat to state and local rights by paving the way for Congress to infringe on states’ ability to pass laws that protect their citizens, animals, and the environment while threatening to overturn democratically enacted ballot initiatives.
Under the guise of protecting states’ autonomy over agricultural practices, the EATS Act would negate hundreds of existing state and local laws, including invasive pest protections, food quality and safety regulations, as well as narcotics law and procurement regulations. Please follow this advocacy link to invite your state legislators to sign on to this letter urging Congressional opposition to the EATS Act and inviting them to an educational webinar on April 4 at 1 pm PT on the harmful impacts of the EATS Act. (The webinar is open to all.)
The 350 Seattle federal Ag group opposes the EATS Act.
If you have time please also contact your local electeds using this email template to invite them to sign on to this letter urging Congressional opposition to the EATS Act.
Please do this action as soon as possible and before April 4th!

Earlier this week, the Secretary of Energy,
Jennifer Granholm was at CERAWeek – a highly exclusive energy conference
flooded with fossil fuel executives.
Over 1,000 of us took to social media
to expose their relationship and called on Secretary
Granholm to withdraw from CERAWeek, and it was powerful.
But we know that CERAWeek is only the
tip of the iceberg, the fossil fuel industry has many other ways to influence
politicians and delay a renewable energy transition.
This is why we need to send a strong
message to the Department of Energy right now and ask them to cut their ties
with Big Oil. Can
you help us to send an official message?
Send a message now!
The Department of Energy should be
investing in a fair renewable energy transition for everyone, not wine and
dining with fossil fuel executives. Not at CERAWeek, not ever. It is time for the Department of
Energy to focus on solving the climate crisis, and cut their ties with Big Oil
once and for all. Send a message to the Department of Energy
now!
Send a message now!
Thank you,
- Team 350
