Friend,

The 2021 legislative session was the culmination of years of climate advocacy in Washington state, thanks to longtime supporters like you.

It was only because of you and your devoted yearslong advocacy that we were able to achieve two extraordinary wins for climate, the Climate Commitment Act and the Clean Fuel Standard.

In a moment, I'm going to tell you in much more detail just how monumental these wins are. But first, I want to ask you to continue to contribute to building this statewide -- and national -- climate movement so that we can keep bringing wins back home to Washingtonians. Donate today so we can make more climate progress together!

Now, a little bit about the historic climate bills we just passed in Washington state:

The Climate Commitment Act creates a cap-and-invest program that limits and reduces greenhouse gas emissions across our economy. It also enacts one of the strongest environmental justice policies in the nation: Under the CCA, Washington's Department of Ecology will assess which communities are hardest hit by pollution and engage with them directly to determine whether pollution is decreasing over time -- and take action if it's not. All the while, we'll have a standing environmental justice advisory committee that gives members of frontline communities and tribes a voice in policy design and investment decisions.

Another big step forward for Washington this session was the passage of the Clean Fuel Standard, which reduces carbon emissions by expanding use of electric vehicles and lower-carbon fuels. In addition to giving people more choices at the pump, it will increase local demand for biofuels, creating new green jobs.

Together, the Climate Commitment Act and the Clean Fuel Standard will accelerate Washington state's lead in tackling the climate crisis -- and provide a roadmap for other states to improve public health and grow their economies by taking it on, too.

Both of these bills passed because we raised our voices, together, for climate action. To keep the momentum going, please chip in today as we continue to make Washington a beacon of progress on climate, equity, and more.
