350 Wenatchee Climate Conversations NCW

Jeanne,

This week BP put another $3 Million into the No On 1631 campaign, bringing the oil industry to $8.7 Million against clean energy. We know this is going to be a hard fight, and we’ll be outspent by the oil industry and that’s why you are going to make the difference. If you haven’t signed up for a canvass yet, now is the time!

A few updates for you all

Canvass/Message Training Webinar
Want to get a head start on the canvassing script? Want to know the tips and tricks on how to answer hard questions at the door? We’re holding two webinars a week for folks to learn how to talk about this campaign at the door and how to answer frequently asked questions. (Note: It is not required to attend one of these before attending a canvass, just some extra prep!)

You can join the training on Tuesday or Thursday from 7:00pm – 8:00pm: RSVP FOR A WEBINAR HERE
