The Climate Commitment Act (CCA) makes big polluters pay for the harm they cause to our air, water, and communities and creates a roadmap for reducing emissions over time. I-2117 is a multi-millionaire funded initiative that would eliminate the CCA and ban Washington from ever creating something similar.
Voting no on I-2117 is critical for our environment and communities. Without the funds raised by the CCA, many popular programs would be terminated, threatened, or reduced, including, wildfire resilience,, school-based bike programs, free bus fare for students, updating our ferry system, restoring fish habitat, and increasing the sustainable supply of water. The revenue from the Climate Commitment Act also creates good-paying, local jobs like making homes more energy-efficient and installing heat pumps and solar panels. Ending the CCA would shift the burden of paying for the impacts of pollution away from polluters and onto our families and communities.
Behind this initiative is Republican mega-donor and hedge fund manager Brian Heywood, who has personally spent more than $6 million to put this measure on the ballot. He’s partnered with MAGA Republican Party Chair Jim Walsh to roll back the ways our elected leaders have made life better in Washington in recent years with no care about the damage to our communities he leaves in his wake.
I-2117 would mean more toxic air pollution and wildfires, and cause more kids and seniors to suffer from asthma and heart conditions. . The Climate Commitment Act is our state's best shot at creating a healthy future for all of us in Washington. Vote no on I 2117 to keep the CCA in place.
