Make Your Voice Heard for Nature

This page will be updated weekly during the 2021 legislative session with opportunities to support priority legislation for people and nature in Washington.

It’s easier than ever to speak up for nature during Washington state’s online legislative session. Anyone can “sign in” to a committee hearing to share their position on a bill directly with the legislators considering it. This is an exciting evolution in our democracy and only takes a few moments!

Watch this space for opportunities to have your support noted for the official legislative record, and for other ways to support important bills and budgets for people and nature! It only takes a moment.

Sign in:

The Clean Fuel Standard (HB 1091) will be heard in the Senate Environment, Energy & Technology Committee at 8am on March 10. Sign in before March 9 to have your “PRO” position noted for the legislative record!

Other Ways to speak up:

Each button below is another way for you to tell legislators that people and nature need them to act today. Note: some buttons link to non-TNC pages.
