Fight against expansion of Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) – No to HB 2700
The Oregon Legislature is voting on an Anti-Climate, Pro-LNG bill soon
Click here to send an email opposing HB 2700 to your State Senator TODAY!
For the third session in a row, a bill to change how state-issued wetland removal-fill permits are granted in Oregon is moving forward. This means LNG on a Fast Track through our communities! Soon, the State Senate Business, Transportation & Economic Development committee will vote on the amendment to exclude LNG-related pipelines from the current bill, HB 2700.
THIS IS AN UPHILL FIGHT, and we need to encourage our state senators to do the right thing against strong pressure from financial and fossil-fuels interests.
