Join RE Sources for Sustainable Communities, Washington Environmental Council, Washington BlueGreen Alliance, and Community to Community Development for a forum “Fund the solutions, price the pollution: The future of climate policy in Washington state” with the Alliance for Jobs and Clean Energy on a statewide policy initiative for 2018 to reduce carbon emissions and build a clean energy future while supporting impacted communities and a just transition for workers.

The Alliance for Jobs and Clean Energy is a statewide coalition of individuals, organizations, and businesses dedicated to reducing global warming pollution, strengthening the economy, and making sure all families have a better future. 

The Alliance is advancing a statewide policy initiative for 2018 to reduce carbon emissions and build a clean energy future. The initiative would invest in clean energy, clean water, and healthy forests, by implementing a performance-based tax on major polluters, while providing investment for disproportionately impacted communities and a just transition for workers.

Forum speakers include: 

-Lauren Breynaert, Coordinator at the Alliance for Jobs and Clean Energy

-Ahmed Gaya, Field Director at the Alliance for Jobs and Clean Energy

-Sameer Ranade, Climate and Clean Energy Campaign Associate at Washington Environmental Council

-Steve Garey, Steering Committee Member of the Washington BlueGreen Alliance, and retired refinery worker and union president of the United Steelworkers Local 12-591

-Edgar Franks, Civic Engagement Program Coordinator at Community to Community Development
