Emerge – April 16, 2024

16. April 2024 · Comments Off · Categories: Uncategorized

Vice President Kamala Harris is SPEAKING OUT on the future of Emerge:

We must support Democratic women to WIN at every level this November. Will you contribute now to help us recruit and train bold, Democratic women to protect our right to abortion?

Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are working overtime to pass dangerous laws restricting a person’s right to choose.

Donald Trump made one thing clear: He proudly claims that he overturned Roe v. Wade. And, no matter what he says or doesn’t say, he will sign a national abortion ban if he wins in November.

We’re working to recruit and train Democratic women at all levels of government to fight for our reproductive rights, but we can’t do it without your support.

Can you contribute $5 to help us support Emerge women and WIN in 2024 and beyond?

–Team Emerge

Empowering Democratic women to run – and win!

		“In 2021, the Washington State legislature passed and Governor Inslee signed the Climate Commitment Act (CCA), the foundation of our state climate policy. The CCA created a market for a limited number of permits to use fossil fuels, and directed the revenue from the sale of the permits to be used to reduce carbon emissions and remove carbon from the atmosphere. The auctions for the permits began last year.Also last year, sufficient signatures were gathered to put Initiative 2117 on the ballot in November. I-2117 essential repeals the CCA, and goes farther by prohibiting any form of price on carbon.A coalition of over 100 organizations, including Citizens Climate Lobby, are opposing I-2117. Our role is to write more than 10,000 postcards to people who have expressed environmental values but who seldom vote. Our Tri-Cities chapter is committed to writing 1000 postcards. We’ll hand-write the addresses and a short message on the postcards in postcard writing parties in June – September. The postcards will be mailed in October.We have scheduled three two-hour postcard parties so far: 5 pm Tuesday June 25, 2:30 pm Sunday July 14 and 5 pm Tuesday August 6. All are in a conference room at Richland Public Library. Please mark a date on your calendar and come by to write postcards and meet some other volunteers. We’ll provide refreshments too! We wrote 340 postcards at our first party. Let's see if we can top that number in our second!”www.facebook.com/share/8Q9UG9i2jFRFczm7/?mibextid=9l3rBW
