The next six weeks will make or break the For the People Act. Our allies in the Senate are directly asking for a massive show of grassroots force. So here's what we're planning -- a nationwide campaign called Deadline for Democracy during the July 4th Recess, which starts on June 28th, two weeks from today.

This email outlines our very best assessment of where we stand on getting the For the People Act through the Senate, why we think that June and July are absolutely crucial, and what you can do about it. But as you’ve probably noticed, things are moving fast. So keep an eye out for more updates via Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram or text INDIVISIBLE to 97779 to be added to our rapid response text message list. For more information

Learn about the growing national Earth Bill Network grassroots movement. First we’ll look at the current “state-of-play” in Congress; second learn about the “2021 Bill Package” and “The Earth Bill” -- to address 80% of our pollution through a single bill by mandating 100% renewable electricity, electric vehicles and regenerative agriculture by 2030; and third, what you can do locally with allies through the Congressional “Adopt-A-District” campaign. Learn how it's tied to UU’s Climate Justice Goals.

Thursday Webinar: Implementing Washington’s Clean Energy Transformation Act (CETA)
 
Interested in clean energy and energy equity? Join Front and Centered and the Initiative for Energy Justice (IEJ) for an interactive webinar highlighting 100% clean energy laws by exploring IEJ’s clean energy law equity evaluation and Washington’s own Clean Energy Transformation Act (CETA). Mariel Thuraisingham, our Clean Energy Policy Lead, will highlight CETA and how it came to pass in 2019, provide an update on CETA implementation, and identify equity priorities and measurable outcomes from a clean energy transition. Mariel welcomes discussion around how indicators can shape utility and other stakeholder actions to drive equitable outcomes.

The webinar’s national audience will include advocates and practitioners in states that already have a 100% clean law on the books -- like Washington -- and those who are advocating to pass one. Our partners at IEJ will be discussing their Justice in 100: Scorecard, a rubric for evaluating 100% clean energy laws passed by states and territories and how community-based practitioners can use the Scorecard.

A WORKSHOP PRESENTED BY BRAVER ANGELS ESPECIALLY FOR WWFOR
 
What is a Depolarizing Within Workshop?
 
The Depolarizing Within Workshop is designed to foster skills to help you lessen the effects of polarization when you encounter them in your political conversations. Note that by “polarization,” we are not referring to healthy disagreements over issues or philosophy. We are talking about how we regard and talk about large groups of ordinary people on the other side of the political aisle.
 
An introductory sample of concepts and information to be covered in the full 3-hour workshop can be found watching the Braver Angel video presentation on the WWFOR website, from WWFOR's 2021 Spring Assembly.
 
Registration:  Please register at Depolarizing Within - Standard (WA / WWAFoR) - Open to Public Registration, Sat, Jul 17, 2021 at 9:30 AM | Eventbrite [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/depolarizing-within-standard-wa-wwafor-open-to-public-registration-154152196369], information David Lambert: lambertdavid39@gmail.com.   You can also contact WWFOR at 206-789-5565.

In  a continued fight for voting rights and democracy, vigils will gather all over the country to protest the plethora of anti-voting bills in state legislatures. The answer, laws at the national level, faces serious challenges. The goal is a massive showing of support for access to voting.

March for Medicare for All, Saturday (7/24) @ 1pm-5pm at Westlake Center & march to Seattle Center
Seattle will join over 27 cities across the country and take to the streets in demand of #MedicareForAll. RSVP here.

Sunrise Seattle is having a strategy retreat to recenter our work on what matters most. We will discuss the plan for moving away from collaborating with Sunrise National on account of their failure to recognize the harm they’re producing within the organization and climate justice movement as a whole, and because the direction National is leading doesn’t feel connected with the original spirit of climate justice.

Can you join us at the Queen Anne Seattle Public Library or on Zoom on July 24th from 1:00-5:00 PM so we can hear your thoughts on this important topic? Please RSVP with this form! Note the new location and time! This will take the place of our normal monthly meeting.

Mitigation Hearings for Mother’s Day Resisters!
 
During Ground Zero’s Mother’s Day vigil at the Trident nuclear submarine base, five demonstrators blocked the main highway entrance into the base for over 20 minutes. The five demonstrators entered the highway carrying two large banners stating, “Congress Wants $1 Trillion For Nukes – What will be left for our children” and “Trident Threatens All Life On Earth” and blocked all incoming traffic at the Bangor Main Gate.. They were removed from the highway by the Washington State Patrol.
 
All five demonstrators were cited for violating RCW 46.61.250, Pedestrians on roadways, and released at the scene. Those cited by the Washington State Patrol: Brenda McMillan and Caroline Wildflower of Port Townsend; Sue Ablao of Bremerton; Elizabeth Murray of Poulsbo; and Michael “Firefly” Siptroth of Belfair.
 
Supporters are welcome to join a brief pre-hearing vigil in front of the courthouse on the day of the hearings, beginning at 1 pm. Ground Zero members will bring “Abolish Nuclear Weapons” signs, as well as a leaflet to offer to people passing by.
