Last night, Tacoma City Council had a choice.
They could stand with young people, on the side of science, by strengthening temporary regulations that limit the expansion of a few currently existing fossil fuel facilities in the Port of Tacoma.
Or, they could stand with fossil fuel billionaires and maintain interim regulations as is, allowing unlimited expansion of existing fossil fuels in the Port of Tacoma.
Which side do you think they chose?
(Kudos to the young people of Sunrise Movement Washington, who modeled what real leadership looks like.)
A loophole allows unlimited expansion of existing fossil fuel facilities like Targa (pictured) in Tacoma. Tonight, the City Council will vote on whether or not to limit that.

TONIGHT❗️Tuesday, Nov 12:
Tacoma City Council will hold a final reading and vote on interim regulations, a temporary reprieve from fossil fuel development while the City, Puyallup Tribe, Port, Fife, and Pierce County work through a multi-year subarea planning process.
.
At the recent Tacoma Climate Strike, city leaders heard the demands of young people who are literally fighting for their future. The City Council can show how seriously they take these demands by voting to renew and strengthen interim regulations. But they need to hear from YOU to be convinced!
.
Come to the hearing prepared to speak for 2 minutes or just come show your support. Bring friends!

“The message, from Chico to Chile, is clear: If the responses to the climate crisis do not simultaneously begin to repair the wrenching injustices and inequalities that scar and strain our world, they have no hope of success. The bottom line is that people are already under too much stress and strain to take any more.
A Green New Deal-style approach — which fuses the battle against planet-warming pollution with the kinds of universalist health, housing, and transit policies that make daily life less stressful and more humane — is not, therefore, one of many possible climate solutions. Having exhausted every other option, it is the only kind of climate response that stands a chance of not going up in smoke.”
Forged in Fire: California’s Lessons for a Green New Deal
Days before the anniversary of the deadly Camp Fire that killed 86 people, a community in California unveiled a plan to adopt its own Green New Deal.
