Vote NO on Inititiative 2117
As extreme weather worsens across the country due to climate change, Washington faces a critical decision. The Climate Commitment Act aims to reduce emissions and hold industries accountable, but it's threatened by Ballot Initiative 2117. This November, voters must choose between advancing climate action or risking inaction. If the ocean could vote, it would oppose Initiative 2117.
