Wisconsinites can show their support and push for bold climate action at any of the upcoming virtual Climate Change Task Force meetings in June and July.
Governor Evers created the task force last October, with an executive order that appointed Lt. Governor Mandela Barnes as its chair. More than 30 leaders from a variety of state organizations and groups were chosen to collaborate on drafting measures that will reduce Wisconsin’s carbon footprint and help communities statewide handle the effects of the climate crisis. The task force’s plans will play a vital role in determining Wisconsin’s climate future. Their actions could help us create green jobs, invest in public transit, and close coal plants statewide! But to achieve those goals, we have to lay the groundwork now, as the task force’s deadline is quickly approaching.
The task force is due to present its policy recommendations by August 31. Let’s push the task force towards effective, dynamic measures by showing up and voicing our support in virtual hearings and public comments!
