We support rights of nature in Washington state
Standing for Washington is dedicated to supporting legislation and citizen initiatives that support the rights of nature in Washington state. Our mission is to promote the idea that nature has inherent rights that should be protected and preserved, and that nature should be given legal standing to support those rights. That means anyone in the community can go to court, if necessary, to protect nature and ensure a healthy, thriving community for future generations.
STANDING FOR OUR WATERSHEDS CAMPAIGN
Standing for Washington gathered signatures in cities around Washington state to get initiatives on local ballots this November 2024 that would give legal standing to watersheds to enforce their rights to exist, regenerate, and flourish.
This would shift the focus from government enforcement to community stewardship. The health and vitality of communities relies on the ability of their watersheds to fulfill their basic functions: filtering and cleaning water, providing healthy ecosystem habitats, flood reduction, supporting economic benefits, and ensuring a sustainable future.
