Reply #4: Environmental Priorities Coalition Legislative Workshop; Seattle 1/12

[eridani]

I am proud to live in Washington. Not only because Washingtonians value a healthy environment, but because of the people and community who come together to win landmark legislation year after year.

The Legislature is in special session right now and the regular 2012 session begins this January. Washington Conservation Voters is the political arm of a coalition of more than twenty leading environmental groups in the state that selects up to four priority issues for each legislative session. The Environmental Priorities Coalition knows that we are stronger together and by sharing resources we implement strong campaigns to ensure that the Legislature supports policies that protect Washington’s environment.

Every year, our partner organization Washington Environmental Council hosts the Environmental Priorities Coalition Legislative Workshop for the community to learn more about the priorities and how to take action to influence legislators.

Where: University of Washington, Kane Hall 120

We'll have experts on hand and a panel of our state legislators to answer your questions about this year's Environmental Priorities. We'll also have helpful break-out sessions on how you can take action.

The 2012 Priorities are:

• Toxic-Free Kids: Protecting Children’s Health from cancer-causing flame retardants and help put businesses on the path to using chemicals that won’t harm health, the environment, or their bottom line.

• Fulfill our Clean Energy Initiative: Sustain the success of I-937 in bringing investments, jobs and economic development throughout Washington.

• Pollution-Free Prosperity: Prevent attempts to weaken, delay or rollback state environmental laws and programs that are critical for clean air, clean water and healthy communities.

All together, the 2012 Environmental Priorities work to protect the things that are most important to Washington’s families – our kids’ health, rebuilding our economy, and maintaining our clean air and clean water.

Thank you for all you do. And remember to register for Legislative Workshop today.
