Legislator Meetings: We will be prioritizing meetings with Legislators on the Joint Ways and Means Committee. If you are not in a district with a scheduled meeting, then don’t worry! We will have groups of constituents take letters of support from farmers, newspaper op-eds, businesses, coalition organizations, and youth climate petitions to all Legislators and Governor Kate Brown and we can use your help showing support for passing the Clean Energy Jobs Bill, HB 2020 with the -84 amendment.
Things to remember: Please bring your clean energy jobs shirts and buttons! We’ll have extra shirts and stickers available in limited supply. Also, you should bring a reusable water bottle.
