Faith Action Network urges you to vote NO on Initiative 2117. I-2117 would repeal the 2021 Climate Commitment Act and prohibit all state agencies, counties, and cities from implementing any type of carbon tax credit trading. If passed it would:
- Devastate billions in funding that protects our water, farmlands and forests, air quality, fish, clean transportation and school health improvements for us and our children.
- Cancel investments in energy efficiency and projects to mitigate the impact of climate change and pollution on highly impacted, low-income households and communities.
- Shift the burden of paying for the impacts of pollution from big industries responsible for carbon emissions onto communities, workers, and families.
- Take away a significant tool for slowing life-threatening climate change and ending pollution.
If you are feeling passionate about this issue, we encourage you to volunteer your time and talents to the No On 2117 campaign. They are looking for volunteers across the state in all different kinds of capacities. Learn more and get involved here.
