2025-10-02 18:30 - 19:30 | Mary Gates Hall Room 389, UW Campus, 1851 NE Grant Ln, Seattle, WA, 98195, United States
Did you know that the UW has a gas plant on campus and is one of the largest polluters in Seattle? There are plans to get UW off fossil fuels, bring cooling to everyone on campus and create hundred of green union jobs – but without funding, these plans are stuck on paper.
A Climate & Worker cohort including SDSA Ecosocialism/GND Working Group members is tackling this problem head on. Join us for a community assembly with WA Senate Majority Leader Jamie Pedersen, who represents UW’s district and will play a key role in determining if this critical project becomes a reality. Few people in Washington have more influence over how state funds are spent!
