Say THANK YOU to legislators who voted to require planning for climate change!

On the 30th Anniversary of the Growth Management Act, Washington could become one of the first states to require local planning for climate mitigation and adaptation.

Thanks to leadership from freshman representative Davina Duerr (D-Bothell), the Washington State House passed HB 2427, which would add a climate change goal to the Growth Management Act. If passed by the Senate and signed by the Governor, HB 2427 would make addressing climate change a binding requirement for planning within the State’s largest counties.

Let's show our appreciation to Rep. Duerr and others in the House of Representatives who voted to pass HB 2427! It's important that our legislators know that community members like you care about climate planning. A strong show of appreciation for supporters in the House will help us build momentum for passage in the Senate.

We just need few pieces of information to connect you with your representatives.

Washington State Representatives

Subject: Thank you for voting YES on HB 2427

Message:

I am writing to thank you for voting for House Bill 2427 to add a climate goal to the Washington State Growth Management Act. Climate change is one of the great challenges of our time and an urgent global issue that requires local action. Transportation is the largest source of emissions in our state and has been one of the most difficult to reduce. Incorporating greenhouse gas emissions reductions into our growth planning will encourage local governments to locate growth in mixed-use, walkable neighborhoods near transit and jobs, one of the best proven ways to reduce transportation emissions. It will also help reduce energy use in buildings and promote smart rural, agricultural, and forest land management that sequesters carbon. Planning for climate adaptation is also one of the best ways to protect frontline communities most at risk from sea level rise and increased fire and flooding risk. Again, thank you so much for supporting this important legislation to protect our planet and communities. Sincerely,

Remaining:
