The Air We Breathe
Across our state, Washingtonians are all paying the price for pollution - from extreme forest fires and droughts ravaging our farmlands to toxic air and water. These impacts are real for all of us. Every Eastern Washington resident can tell you about the fear of their home being burnt down, and every driver stuck behind a dirty diesel truck can tell you about the toxic fumes. However, some communities shoulder much more of the impact than others.

We like making history here in Washington. We built the world's commercial airline industry, we invented the personal computer, and we led the nation by voting for marriage equality, legalization of marijuana, and a $15 minimum wage. Yet today we're only one week away from making the wrong kind of history: the first government shutdown in the 126-year history of Washington state.
