350 WA

Issues & legislation

Phew! This was our 8th year doing legislative advocacy with the 350 WA Civic Action Team campaign and we mobilized more people to do more advocacy on sound and just climate policy than ever before.

But it was a short, fast, and furious session, with only 60 days to pass the critical bills and budget items we need for building the climate-safe future we want in Washington. Lawmakers set aside several bills, notably the ReWRAP Act, the CURB Act, and Transit Oriented Development, that we hope will return next year.

Our 350 WA CAT campaign worked on 72 bills and budget provisos. Of those, 22 passed and we stopped 9 that were no good. You can bet we’ll be back next year to work together on passing (or stopping!) more than 30 of the remaining policies. 

Together, we mobilized 558 people across Washington to take over 61,513 legislative advocacy actions, and made climate impossible to ignore in the state legislature.

Our strategy: We support policies that are sound and just.

We push for climate policies that are sound and just in alignment with our values.

  • Sound: We only support climate policies that are scientifically sound.

  • Just: We understand that the fights for racial justice, economic justice and climate justice are deeply interconnected. We center climate justice in the bills that we advocate for. 



    We practice transparency by naming whose lead we are following in our actions, and to create welcoming and accessible advocacy opportunities for climate activists and volunteers from all backgrounds and experiences. 



    More about why we prioritize social justice issues like police accountability and housing.

We don’t support policies that advance false solutions such as bioenergy, carbon trading, carbon offsetting, carbon capture, “natural” gas, and more. More about false solutions.
