RE: Final stretch. Let's win this thing.

I-1631 needs your help now. More than 50% of people in Washington have still not voted. 

Lorelei,

I know your inbox is overflowing right now, so I'll keep it short: tomorrow is Election Day. Yes on 1631 really needs your help in these last 36 hours if we're going to beat Big Oil's dirty millions and pass a groundbreaking, just price on carbon pollution here in Washington.

Can you spend even an hour today or tomorrow helping get out the vote for Initiative 1631? It's now or never — and with the race this tight, your help could make the difference.

In case you missed yesterday's email from Lin — one of the incredible leaders of 350 Eastside — with more information about what's at stake and how you can help out, I'm including it below.

Let's win this thing,

Katie

Lorelei:

On Tuesday, people around the country will have their eyes on Washington state.

Major national news outlets like The New York Times, Vox, The Nation, Time Magazine and The Washington Post have featured stories on I-1631. Volunteers in 20 states and 4 countries have phone banked for the campaign.

Not to mention, of course, the out-of-state oil companies that have spent a record-shattering $32 million opposing this people-powered campaign — just so they can protect their sky-high dirty profits.

This is the final stretch, and we need your help right now if we're going to beat Big Oil and win this thing. Sign up here to volunteer for the campaign in this crucial final moments — this is when it really counts.

People around the world are paying attention, because they know that I-1631 matters. If Washington becomes the first state to put a price on climate pollution, it will inspire activists, policymakers, and people around the country — and it will have ripple impacts on national climate politics that could be felt for years.

This has been an awe-inspiring campaign. Over 6,000 volunteers have had nearly 400,000 one-on-one conversations with voters, knocking on almost 175,000 doors and making 375,000 phone calls. That's incredible.

But we still need to do more to ensure that we overcome the deep pockets of the oil industry. 

More than 50% of people in Washington still haven't voted yet. This final stretch is the most important time to volunteer for the campaign. There are volunteer events happening all over the state, every hour of every day, right up until 7:30pm on Tuesday. Can you sign up for one?

Finally, whatever happens on Tuesday, win or lose, we hope that you will join our people-powered climate movement here in the Northwest. There are now eight 350.org local groups in Washington state ― and you can get more involved with any of the groups by clicking the links below. We hope to see you at a meeting soon.

But first: let's win this thing. Can you help ensure that we beat Big Oil and sign up for one final volunteer shift?

Onward,

Lin, 350 Eastside; Alec, 350 Seattle; Brian, 350 Spokane; Bradley, 350 Tacoma; Jeanne, 350 Wenatchee; Jill, 350 Bellingham; Jackie, 350 Everett; Ed, Olympic Climate Action; and Katie, 350.org.

PS: If you are in the Seattle area, we hope that you'll join us at the Yes on 1631 election night party! You can RSVP here. It should be a fun evening with many of the leaders who helped to write the policy, and many of the thousands of volunteers who — we hope — will have helped to make sure it passes.
