The Climate Commitment Act (CCA) is a great step forward, but Initiative 2117 would repeal it and prohibit future carbon tax credit trading.
For those of us who care about smart climate action, protecting the CCA from I-2117 is critical. Please start learning more about the CCA to help you encourage everyone you know – colleagues, friends and family – to vote “No” on I-2117 in November.

- “Why Carbon Washington strongly supports the Climate Commitment Act.”
- This recent analysis by Clean and Prosperous Washington concluding that the 2023 average price increase of a gallon of gasoline in WA over Oregon (the best comparator) since the CCA was initiated was only 13.4 cents per gallon, not 50 cents per gallon being asserted by opponents of the CCA and proponents of I-2117.

- Seattle Times article on the value of the CCA and what is at risk with I-2117

Instead of repealing the CCA, we must do more to help people and businesses quickly transition off fossil fuels.
