We need climate action now! Buildings are the #1 source of emissions in Bend, OR. 350 Deschutes is urging the city council to act fast on reducing that number. We are petitioning for: all new buildings be built 100% electric by 2025, 80% of existing buildings have electric space and water heating by 2040, and the create a Just Transition Fund so that clean energy is accessible to everyone in our community.
Committee Members have a variety of skills and help with tasks such as, marketing the petition, research, attending community events to canvas the petition, assist with social media content, contact local businesses to spread awareness of the petition, website assistance, attend council meetings, write Op/Eds, and so much more. Your role will coincide with your interests and skills. We have biweekly or monthly Zoom meetings depending on need.
