On the Legislative Front . . .

In this section, we’ll be looking at following legislative actions in Congress (Federal) and State Legislatures and judicial decisions defining the numerous and complex laws that govern Indian Affairs in this country and in our states.  Stayed tuned as we will be expanding this area significantly in the future as well as building in additional information from text already posted here.



Town Halls are Opportunities to Meet with Legislators

Posted on 02. March 2021 by webmaster

At this point in the legislative session, it would be a good idea to meet with your legislators to discuss pending legislation. Most legislators are scheduling town halls online, and you can find out when at the Washington Conservation Voter website. Some will let you ask questions beforehand, which is a good opportunity to discuss our legislative priorities. Here are some of the priorities we discussed in the Justice Summit.

  • Environmental priorities: Fluorinated Gases, Clean Fuels, Growth Management Act, Building Electrification.
  • Racial Justice priorities: Insurance fairness act, Healthy Environment for All (HEAL) act.
  • Criminal Justice priorities: Legal Financial Obligations.
