Mission and programs · 2022

• Amazon Employees for Climate Justice (AECJ), a fiscally sponsored project of 350 Seattle, supported 2,000+ tech workers organizing for climate justice, with a continued focus on environmental racism from logistics and tech operations, as well as global impacts of extreme weather. AECJ organized actions and educational events in collaboration with community leaders to stop a new warehouse development in Mt. Baker that would bring increased pollution to an already overburdened BIPOC community. AECJ also launched a petition and discussion sessions to call for relief support for those impacted by extreme flooding in Pakistan, and corporate targets pledged relief funds. Furthermore, 350 Seattle continued to be an active member of the Stop the Money Pipeline (STMP) coalition, and sent 300 customers of Bank of American, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, and JPMorgan Chase to their banks to advocate the end of funding for fossil fuels. 350 Seattle also fiscally sponsored a project underneath the STMP coalition umbrella, that, alongside coalition partners, launched a campaign to push major investors, such as asset managers and public pension funds, to vote yes on climate resolutions at banks and insurance companies. This resulted in 60,000+ people sending emails to major investors and a letter demanding action from 10,000+ customers of Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Bank of America to the banks largest shareholders; ultimately the coalition secured between 9 and 13 percent of the vote for the resolutions.

• 2022 saw us investing more in our volunteer leadership community and working to support engagement and growth within our teams. Our monthly intro call helped new people regularly connect to meaningful roles within the organization, and we created our first custom volunteer guides and weekly update calls to better support volunteers in key campaigns. Our Leadership Team, a core group of volunteers holding significant bodies of work in the organization, expanded to 35 active volunteers. We doubled down on our organizationl commitment to acti-racism with the creation of Anti-Racist White Caucus and a Black, Indigenous, People of Color Futurism Caucus. We continued to develop our relationship with the UW School of Social Work as a practicum site, hosting 5 practicum students. 350 Seattle also worked in the community coalition founded by union workers at MLK Labor, building worker power and alliances between the climate and labor movement through four separate partnership initiatives. Our arts team provided many opportunities for community growth, like the Peoples Echo, a community song group, which reached over 500 people through their public song circles. Our Visuals Team engaged 250+ people in our public Art Builds which happened 1-4 times per month, supporting over a dozen partner organizations. Finally, our Story Team released their second zine, Homeward, with submissions and support from over 100 people; the zine was distributed for free to small libararies and community centers across the city.

• In 2022, 350 Seattle won the citys first major investment to transition our public buildings off fossil fuels. We organized with hundreds of students, healthcare workers, families, renters, and climate justice supporters, and a broad coalition of climate, environmental justice, and labor partners to win over $100M to upgrade Seattles community centers for clean energy & climate resilience. These upgraded community centers will provide life-saving cooling and clearn air, to keep our communities healthy during heat waves and wildfire smoke. Microgrid solar installations will enable them to run during power outages and consistently add clean energy to our grid. These public projects create living-wage union jobs and apprenticeship pathways, growing our local green economy while ensuring that green jobs are good jobs. Additionally, our 350 Seattle WA Civic Action Team campaign mobilized nearly 400 volunteers from legislative districts across teh state, and engaged in 21,700 advocacy actions to support climate justice policies in teh 2022 legislative session. Lastly, as part of the Seattle Solidarity Budget, we advocated for the City of Seattle to invest in public support services, funding for affordable housing, and climate investments.

• 350 Seattle became active in the national Pepole vs. Fossil Fuels Coalition and organized hundreds of volunteers to oppose Senator Manchins Dirty Deal that would have green-lighted the Mountain Valley Pipeline and eased fossil fuel permitting requirements. Additionaly, 350 Seattles Aviation Team continued to be active in the King County International Airport Community Coalition (KCIACC). KCIACC addresses the negative impacts experienced by communities directly surrounding the airport, particularly BIPOC communities. The coalition solidified and maintained the legislation of a locally selected advisory board via King County Council. The Aviation Team also sustained pressure on aviation companies by challenging greenwashing related to so-called sustainable aviation fuels, authoring op-eds, taking part in actions, and meeting with elected officials.
