Grassroot Democrats for Renewable Energy

HB 2410, the Jeff Bezos Amazon nuclear project for Umatilla County (Oregon), was voted out of the state House Climate, Energy and Environment Committee last week...with a subsequent referral to the Ways and Means Committee.

Three Democrats joined the Republicans to move the bill forward. Four Democratic State Reps. voted NO. (Thanks to Reps. Gamba, Anderson, Marsh and Neron)

Climate, Energy, and Environment House 2025 Regular Session - Oregon Legislative Information System

In 1979, NIRS brought me to Wash D.C. to be on a panel to talk about coalition building and my experience with organizing Oregon's 1978 Ballot Measure #9. That day on April 20, 1979 was a huge rally at the Oregon State Capitol for the nuclear moratorium; which passed.

Why pour billions into aging, dangerous reactors when we could be investing in real climate solutions? 🌎✨ Save the planet—not the reactors.

Hands Off rally in Clackamas, Oregon, 1000+ protesters. Here's the only anti-nuke sign, but still. We have to make the connection with Trump's Project 2025! A really fun event, the response was amazing!

Article 3: Environment
Oregon Democrats recognize that the current climate emergency requires immediate action to avoid catastrophic warming, crossing tipping points, and triggering irreversible impacts that threaten to make our planet uninhabitable. We support an aggressive and robust timeline for implementing controls on greenhouse gas emissions in all sectors of the economy. We support improving Oregon’s resilience to climate threats, the elimination of “forever chemicals” and plastics, and securing an environment free of nuclear radiation. We encourage legislation that takes a proactive approach to all chemicals and products placed in the consumer sector. We advocate for environmental justice, equity, and inclusion. We call for the centering and protection of historically marginalized populations, particularly Indigenous nations, in discussions and policies that affect the environment, and demand that legislation include Free Prior and Informed Consent of tribal nations. Our efforts to protect the planet and save humanity from climate disasters must be focused and measurable.
