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!

Time and again fossil fuel projects that have been proposed in Washington have failed to adequately consult with or earn consent from the Tribes and Nations whose lands and rights are being impacted. Black and Brown communities are targeted by the fossil fuel industry and put health and safety on the line for profit. Come hear these stories, how these new rules help hold industry accountable to the frontlines, and what you can do!
