United States Climate Alliance
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee joins New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and California Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. to form the United States Climate Alliance to convene U.S. states committed to achieving the U.S. goal of reducing emissions by 26-28 percent over 2005 levels and meeting or exceeding the targets of the federal Clean Power Plan.
Governor Inslee announced on June 5th that 10 new members have joined the coalition in less than a week: Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Vermont and Virginia , which is committed to upholding the Paris Accord and taking aggressive action on climate change.

Since 1945, the supreme strategic goal in Europe of the USSR, and then Russia, was the severing of the US-German alliance. Trump delivered.
"As a result of this trip, American influence, always exercised in Europe through mutually beneficial trade and military alliances, is at its rockiest in recent memory. The American-German relationship, the core of the transatlantic alliance for more than 70 years, has just hit a new low: On Sunday, the German chancellor told a sympathetic crowd that Germany could no longer depend on America, given what she had “experienced in the last few days.” The Russian government, which has long sought to expel the United States from the continent, is overjoyed: On Russian television, Trump was said to have turned NATO into a 'house of cards.'"

13 men--0 women
These are the Republican Senators who will craft the Senate version of Trumpcare—13 white men. There is not one female Senator at the table to represent more than half the population of this country.

The 2017 regular session of the Washington state legislature is now over and the first overtime session has begun. State leaders need to adopt a new two-year budget, which includes important decisions on environmental programs and policies.
The following measures are still on the table for final negotiations.
The following measures are still on the table for final negotiations.
- Oil Transportation Safety (HB 1611) will help address a $3.6 million funding shortfall in state oil spill prevention programs, improve oil spill prevention for Puget Sound, and provide more public input on proposed oil pipeline projects.
- Protecting All Communities From Toxic Pollution (HB 2182) stabilizes funding to clean up thousands of toxic sites, prevent and control pollution, and provide grants to support communities dealing with a toxic pollution threat.
Due to actions by the new federal administration to de-fund environmental protections, it is more important than ever for state leaders to adopt a new two-year budget that includes environmental and public health programs.
Call the Washington state toll-free Hotline number and leave a message for our legislators that you want full funding of environmental programs to be a priority during the special session:
