Jay Inslee

"We'll miss you in this race, Jay Inslee. Thank you for setting the pace for our elected leaders on the climate crisis, running a historic campaign, and elevating this issue for all of us."

While applauding much of the presidential candidate's proposal, Friends of the Earth warned "it doesn't do enough to stop concentrated corporate monopolies in the food and agriculture sector."

"Why is Tom Perez trying to kill the momentum for a climate debate?"

"For too long we have allowed the forces of economic injustice and environmental racism to perpetuate inequality and lack of opportunity. Now it is time to build environmental justice into everything we do."

"Governor Inslee's plan is the first we've seen that truly acknowledges this emergency and proposes critical steps to turn it back."

"If you understand the impact that the climate crisis is going to have, it isn't a single issue. It's going to affect literally every single aspect of our lives."

"The science demands our next president initiate nothing short of a full-scale mobilization to phase out fossil fuels and kickstart the renewable energy economy."

"If you've got a problem with radioactive waste, you could clean it up, a costly and onerous process, or you could just change the definition of it. Guess which one the Trump administration has decided to do?"
