Congress has the power to help solve the climate crisis and transition our economy to clean energy. But it will only happen if all of us speak up now. Send a message to the 116th Congress and urge them to support the 100% Clean Energy Economy Act >>

John,

Across Washington, communities are already experiencing the devastating impacts of climate change. Even worse, these impacts are hitting communities of color, Indigenous communities, and low-income communities the hardest, exacerbating existing racial and economic inequities. It’s critical that we move away from polluting fossil fuels and build a more sustainable, healthy future for all.

We have a rare opportunity to advocate to do just that at the federal level with the 100% Clean Energy Economy Act, which aims to transition our economy to 100% clean energy and net zero emissions by 2050.

In doing so, we can improve public health for communities most impacted by pollution and climate change, ensure fossil fuel workers are trained for family-sustaining clean energy jobs, and reduce the harmful carbon pollution that is fueling extreme weather events across the country.

Washington became a national leader when we put in place our 100% Clean Electricity law earlier this year. Now, we can raise our voices to push for federal action that follows our lead.

We’re working with our partners in the Conservation Voters Movement to flood Congressional inboxes and show them just how important it is to invest in our clean energy economy today. Will you add your name and urge Congress to support the 100% Clean Energy Economy Act?

Solving the climate crisis depends on transitioning our economy to clean energy. Tell your representative to support the 100% Clean Energy Economy Act as an original cosponsor >>

Progress toward a clean energy future is already happening at the state and local levels all across this country. In addition to Washington state’s 100% Clean Energy bill, 20 other states made progress on clean energy policy. Across the country, one in four people now live in a place that has committed to 100% clean energy.

This is all part of our work for Clean Energy For All – a program that is working to transition our economy to 100% clean energy by 2050. And most importantly: our clean energy campaign centers on climate justice to ensure that those most impacted by climate change – especially communities of color, Indigenous communities, and low-income communities – are at the center.

To build upon the incredible work we have done here in Washington, it’s critical that we also advance bold legislation at the federal level to further limit the use of dirty fossil fuels and advance a just transition to clean energy. The 100% Clean Energy Economy Act will support and expand action already being taken at the local level by cities, communities, and businesses across our state to limit carbon pollution that’s contributing to climate change.

There’s no time to waste: Tell Congress to advance our clean energy economy >>

Thank you for joining the fight to advance Clean Energy for All.
