We have a BIG opportunity in 2021 to finally get ahead of industry proposals and advocate for strong protections against climate-wrecking fossil fuels! We know that coal, oil and fracked gas wreak havoc on our climate, put our health and safety at risk, and target harm on low-income communities of color.

The Department of Ecology is developing a new rule on evaluating fossil fuel projects. Come learn about how climate, health and justice are connected in this process and what you can do to help!

We know that coal, oil and fracked gas wreak havoc on our climate, put our health and safety at risk, and target harm on low-income communities of color. Fighting fossil fuel infrastructure is one of the best things we can do for public health. We know that industry is perpetuating racial and environmental injustices that are then magnified further in times of crisis. Join us to hear how health is inseparable from climate justice and how these new rules move us closer to protecting communities!
