*Below is some additional information about the event from 350 Seattle: *
*Washington can show other states how to end climate pollution, build
resilience from extreme weather, and create good green union jobs while
transforming our local economy.*





*Senate Majority Leader Jamie Pedersen is one of the most influential
politicians in Olympia; he and his colleagues need to hear that we expect
our state elected officials to lead on climate action, regardless of what
the federal government does. Our vision of transformation is big, but we
pick tangible fights to make meaningful progress. We're focusing on the UW
gas plant because it is one of the largest direct polluters in the city,
and because the shovel-ready plans to electrify would bring cooling to
thousands of UW students, faculty and staff. We have an excellent lineup of
community leaders and UW stakeholders who are ready to share their stories
of how overheated buildings have impacted them, why urgent climate action
is so crucial, and why we need cooling, not gas.*

Best,
Stella
