Dear John,

Last week we announced the first Major Threat of the session to Oregon’s health and clean air [[link removed]], HB 3119, a bill that will delay Oregon’s clean truck rules. In the same week, the House Climate, Energy, and Environment Committee held a hearing on this bill, deciding to review the comments and testimony and put together questions before reconvening. While many of our members and those in our state’s climate action network took action and put together testimony, we are still facing strong opposition [[link removed]] from the trucking industry and big oil, who are both working to delay Oregon’s clean truck rules.

We were overwhelmed by so many of our members springing into action to protect healthy and clean air by opposing HB 3119 — thank you! Unfortunately, the trucking industry and big oil are laser focused on getting this bill across the finish line, so we need even more support now [[link removed]] to stop this before the next hearing. What we need now is more resources to gather even more testimonials, educate Oregonians on this Major Threat, and lobby our elected officials. Are you able to make a timely gift of any amount today to stop this Major Threat [[link removed]]?

We can’t stop this Major Threat without your voice. Right now it’s extremely important that we put our foot down and tell our legislators what we won’t accept this session - especially while we have supermajorities. Our state cannot afford to backtrack on our climate progress by delaying our clean truck rules, when DEQ has already adopted additional compliance flexibilities in November [[link removed]] and will be engaging in ongoing conversations during the permanent rule making process.

Please consider an urgent gift to our work to defend our state against Major Threat HB 3119, a bill that would backtrack on our climate progress. Donate now: [link removed]

Thank you for standing up for our clean air!

Together,
Eliza Walton (she/they)
OLCV Coalition Director
