Make a call today for fossil-free energy!

Washington State can put a stake in the ground, right now, for a fossil fuel-free future. The House is likely about to vote on HB 2995, phasing out the use of fossil fuels for electricity, with Senate votes likely to follow this week This IS the place and now is the time.  And we are the people, if our legislators will stand up and represent!

Our state can be and should be the first to break the chain between fossil fuels and electric power. We’ve got the technology.  We’ve got a head start.  We’ve got the brains, the will, and the heart.  What we don’t have is any more time to waste.
 
Please call the Legislative Hotline now (800) 562-6000 and leave a message for your legislators asking them to SUPPORT HB 2995 and its Senate counterpart bill, for fossil-free electricity.
  
HB 2995 would put Washington on a clear path to achieving 100% fossil-free electricity.  Let’s stop making things worse, so we can make them better!
 
Now is the time for your legislators to take their direction from you on the urgent need for this climate solution.
 
Please call the HOTLINE now: (800) 562-6000
 
Our children and other living beings are counting on us!
