What: Yes on I-1631 South Seattle Kick-Off Event

Where: 4639 S Snoqualmie St, Seattle, 98118
The Alliance for Jobs and Clean Energy is a broad and inclusive coalition led by communities of color, as well as labor and environmental organizations. For over a year now, 350 Seattle has been proud to be a part of the Alliance’s steering committee, working to make the initiative as strong as possible.
I-1631 isn’t perfect — by itself, the $15/ton fee it imposes won’t do much to reduce emissions, but the revenue raised will have a real impact over time. I-1631 is expected to raise over $1.15 billion a year for investments in clean energy programs, which will reduce emissions; critically, over $450 million of that money will be invested in projects in marginalized communities.
We hope you can join us on April 9th to get involved and help us pass I-1631.
