During the 2016 election cycle, Audubon Washington partnered with the Yes on I-732 campaign to promote the first state-wide, revenue-neutral carbon tax in the United States. While the ballot measure did not pass, we built important alliances, stood apart from other environmental groups as a centrist voice for progress, reached significant numbers of voters, and learned a great deal that will prepare us for the next opportunity to advance carbon policy. Here's what we learned and what we plan to do next.
