What's a legacy without climate action?

Lorelei -- Frank Chopp has recently announced that the upcoming legislative session will be his last as Speaker of the House. In many regards, Speaker Chopp leaves behind an impressive legacy ― extended healthcare, paid family leave, and the Marriage Equality Act are just a few of the achievements that he will be leaving behind. However, there is one important thing missing from Speaker Chopp's legacy ― and it's the one that future generations will care about most. History will remember the period 1999 - 2019, the period that Speaker Chopp was the most powerful politician in the state, as the definitive period when we had the chance to act on climate. Yet, in that time the Washington State legislature has passed no meaningful climate legislation, let alone laws commensurate with the severity and urgency of the climate crisis. Can you take 10 seconds to send an email to Speaker Chopp and ask that he make climate a top priority this legislative session? If Speaker Chopp wishes to leave behind a legacy that future generations will be thankful for, he must make climate his top priority this session Can you also take a couple minutes to call Speaker Chopp to ask that he act on climate? Here is a call script, talking points and his number. In a recent meeting, Speaker Chopp said that twenty constituent contacts is all it takes to get a legislator to pay attention to an issue. We believe him ― and we believe that together we can ensure that Speaker Chopp gets two hundred phone calls asking him to make sure that climate is a top priority today. Can you help us hit that goal? Onward! David -=-=- 350Seattle.org · 1919 E Prospect St, Seattle, WA 98112, United States This email was sent to loriwantsrss@gmail.com.
