HAVING YOUR VOICE HEARD IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE, MADE EASY! SIGN UP FOR LEGISLATIVE UPDATES
About once per week during the 2025 legislative session (January through April), we send out a quick email update what’s happening with key environmental bills, plus quick actions you can take to push urgent policies make it across the finish line. State laws can make a big difference in your community, while also setting examples for more states to follow. With federal threats to the climate and clean water from the Trump administration, state action matters even more!
cascade natural gas customers: urge gas utility to cut ties with costly GTN Xpress expansion
For two years, communities across the Northwest have been fighting a proposed fracked gas expansion project from TC Energy called GTN XPress. The gas pipeline spans over 1,300 miles through Oregon, Washington and Idaho.
Not only is GTN XPress a backwards plan threatening the health, safety, and climate of the Northwest, but the expansion imposes a considerable burden on ratepayers — specifically Cascade Natural Gas customers.
Solidarity Action: Call for a Coast Salish Longhouse at Xwotqwem (Whatcom Creek)
Ecological and cultural healing in the central Salish Sea region are intertwined. Support the call by Lummi leaders with Whiteswan Environmental to revive a Coast Salish longhouse at Xwotqwem (Whatcom Creek). This longhouse will create and provide culturally safe places for Indigenous communities to heal the Native and non-Native divide, and to teach history, culture, governance, and language to the next generations.
Take the 100% Northwest Pledge
Our 100% Northwest campaign’s main goal is to transition Northwest Washington to a 100% clean energy economy by 2030 by advocating for smart policies, informing residents about practical clean energy solutions and widening community outreach. It just needs people-power!
