On January 28th, King County Councilmember Dave Upthegrove will introduce an ordinance that prohibits all new major fossil fuel infrastructure projects – such as gas pipeline expansion and new oil terminals – in King County.
The #FossilFreeKC ordinance builds on a strategy that’s been successful in Portland, Vancouver, Tacoma and other PNW communities, where local governments have changed their land use zoning codes to prohibit dirty, dangerous fossil fuel infrastructure.
King County is poised to pass the strongest anti-fossil fuel legislation in the country – and you can bet that fossil-fuel loving utilities like PSE will do everything in their power to stop it. We need your help to build a groundswell of community support that resonates more loudly than fossil fuel money.
Three things you can do right now:
- Sign our petition calling on King County leaders to vote YES on the #FossilFreeKC ordinance and protect our health and climate
- Check out 350 Seattle’s video and blog to learn more about the #FossilFreeKC ordinance and our strategy to win
- Join us for the next FossilFreeKC action meeting on Thursday, 1/24 from 6:30-8:00pm. 1919 E Prospect St, Seattle WA 98122
Together, we can win a Fossil Free future!
