Dear Washington Coal Act (SB 5439) Supporters,
The Chair of Ways and Means has announced that the Washington Coal Act will not get a hearing this session. Don’t be discouraged! SB 5439 survives and moves into the 2026 legislative session!
YOUR enthusiastic support propelled this underdog bill into view, against all odds, in spite of a very tough budget situation! That’s HUGE!
SPECIAL THANKS to organizations that joined our coalition and have made this effort their own.
Thank you!!!! As Barb’s son said to her yesterday, who works in renewable energy and strongly supports her in this work, “How can I not keep working on this? Every day it becomes more important.”
With much appreciation,
Donna, Barb, Mary Lou, Tamara and the Divest Washington Team
