On Friday, City Club of Eugene is hosting a debate on Measure 20-388 and we need to show our support! Eugene Clean Energy Fund representatives will face off with the opposition about whether or not billionaires should pay their fair share toward a resilient future here in Eugene. 🌟SEE YOU THERE!🌟

The Eugene Clean Energy Fund will ensure that billion-dollar corporations are paying their fair share toward a more resilient future for Eugene by placing a small fee on their gross profits. The fee will NOT apply to small businesses or Eugene residents. Vote YES on 20-388!

The Eugene Clean Energy Fund would invest in our community to reduce household energy burden, expand renewable energy and other green infrastructure, create jobs in the green economy, and build community-wide resilience! Vote YES on 20-388! #eugenecleaneenergyfund #vote #climatejustice

ECEF would place a fee on billion-dollar corporations in Eugene to fund local climate programs. There's no reason to believe this cost would be passed on to customers. It is a fee applied to gross profits, not sales. And this has not happened in Portland with the Portland Clean Energy Fund.
