The updates that the Washington Can’t Wait Campaign has brought forward with our organizational partners seek to incorporate policy in the GMA that would address climate change, housing affordability, and environmental justice. Jamie will be discussing the Washington Can’t Wait Campaign, the policy changes being advocated for, and offer opportunities for folks to get involved in this work.
