The Advocacy Action committee will be in the Gallery on Sunday, April 27, with a letter for folks to sign supporting the Climate Action Plan now being written by the Multnomah County Commissioners. This is an important issue, so please take a moment to stop at the table on your way to the Cake Auction.

By using a justice-centered approach, a Climate Action Plan (CJP) has been developed to address the climate crisis in Multnomah County and its impacts on Multnomah County residents. The CJP:

• Prioritizes the needs of historically marginalized communities to ensure environmental justice;
• Helps our community work toward building a more resilient and pollution-free future in Multnomah County:
• Reduces greenhouse gas emissions, improves air quality, and increases community preparedness for climate-related impacts;
• Prioritizes community-driven solutions, and amplifies community power, voice, and leadership; and
• Fosters shared decision-making and collaboration between government, community organizations, and residents to identify and implement climate solutions.
