We did this together.

John,

We've worked so hard for this moment.

On Tuesday, Whatcom County Council passed groundbreaking land use policies, becoming one of the first refinery communities in the nation to permanently prohibit new fossil fuel facilities!

This is a historic example of a community making progress for an Evergreen Future at the local level, and setting a powerful precedent of what's possible in other Northwest communities to protect health, safety, and the climate. WCV could not be more proud that all our current and formerly endorsed candidates voted yes on this proposal and have spent years leading in this effort.

This moment is years in the making. We’re here today because the community came together. Under the Lummi Nation's leadership, we stopped what would have been the largest coal terminal in North America, we rallied after oil companies put in oil train terminals, and no matter what the fossil fuel industry attempted we never gave up.

If you’ve signed petitions, sent emails to council, attended meetings, or supported the campaign in any of the hundred other ways we’ve asked, this victory is because of you.

Your voices persuaded your community and elected leaders, your votes won election after election, and your work made a difference.

In solidarity,

Anna Doty

Fossil Fuel Campaign Manager
