Dear John,
Your legislators are in the Capitol right now for the final hours of Legislative Days. Now’s the time to make your voice heard! With only a month-long legislative session coming up in February, we need to take every opportunity to remind legislators that the Clean Energy Jobs bill is unfinished business. Oregon needs strong climate legislation now more than ever. Send your legislators an email before they leave the Capitol! [[link removed]]
The devastating fires in Australia have shown us a glimpse of the future: if we do nothing to act on climate, extreme wildfires and high temperatures will become commonplace, making entire parts of the world uninhabitable for humans. Luckily, we still have a chance to prevent the worst effects of climate change. Will you send an email to your legislators and encourage them to make the Clean Energy Jobs bill as strong as possible?

Right now, Oregon’s leaders are crafting the details of the new version of the Clean Energy Jobs bill. We need to make sure that they keep the bill strong enough to hold industrial polluters accountable for their greenhouse gas emissions.
Unsurprisingly, polluting industries have already reached out to legislators and are trying to weaken the bill. What matters most to fossil fuel corporations is short-term profit, rather than the long-term health and well-being of Oregon’s ecosystems and Oregon’s people.
We can’t sit back and wait for our legislators to do what’s right. We the people have to take action--we have to make the voices of everyday Oregonians louder than those of corporate polluters. Please send an email to your State Senator and State Representative today, and tell them how critical it is that Oregon passes a strong Clean Energy Jobs bill during the 2020 session.

Thank you for taking action,

Staying in touch via the Oregon League of Conservation Voters’ email list is the best way we have of keeping in regular contact with supporters like you and letting you know about the ways you can take action to protect the environment. You can [link removed] from our supporter list, but if you leave, it will be harder for you to stay involved with OLCV and continue the work that you’ve been such a critical part of. OLCV wins environmental policy fights and elections because of dedicated activists like you, and we’d hate to see you go.
