350 Seattle is building a passionate grassroots movement for climate justice<\/a>. We believe that climate change is a problem so overwhelming that only people power can begin to solve it. Using tools ranging from policy and advocacy to direct action, we inspire people to fight for the deep and lasting changes necessary to ensure a thriving planet.Since the election, 350 Seattle has been getting inquiries from people all over the state interested in starting 350 local groups–including people from Skagit County.<\/p>\n

Are you interested in joining a 350 Eastside chapter? Please let us know by filling out\u00a0this form<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019re excited to help incubate new groups because we\u2019ve seen how much we can accomplish by working together. In just four years, 350 Seattle has grown from a scrappy little upstart to having a reach of over 11,000 people. We were a leader in the ShellNo! campaign that helped\u00a0push Shell out of the Arctic<\/a>. We took 2,000 people to Anacortes for\u00a0Break Free<\/a>, and the Gates Foundation and City of Seattle both responded to our campaigns, selling over\u00a0$187 million<\/a>\u00a0worth of fossil fuel stocks and\u00a0committing to remove over $3 billion<\/a>\u00a0from Wells Fargo, respectively.<\/p>\n

Can you imagine how much we’ll accomplish with groups all over the state?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A small group of us have already started meeting to discuss forming a 350 Eastside\u2014but we’re looking for additional members who can dedicate time and skills to helping us get this off the ground, as well as folks interested in heading up a work group around a particular issue.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in being part of a new 350 Eastside group,\u00a0please fill out this form<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Solidarity,
\nSara, Lin, Phil, Emily, Jeremy and Katy from 350 Eastside\u2014and Alec from 350 Seattle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
