Next Thursday, June 1, the City of Portland and Multnomah County are planning to vote to commit to 100% clean energy

Local action is needed more than ever to prevent dramatic climate disruption. These resolutions are a huge step toward building climate leadership and resilience.

The city and county postponed their votes last month to allow more time for public input. The resulting resolutions include strong commitments to 100% clean electricity by 2035 and 100% clean energy by 2050. Other important elements include encouraging TriMet to rapidly transition their fleet to electric buses, stronger commitments to a just transition, and opposition to fracked gas plants and other fossil fuel development.

Please contact City Council and the Board of County Commissioners to thank them for taking bold climate action. You can also join us at the hearing to show your support for 100% clean energy:
