Prop 412 Rejected Because of Climate Concerns Foreshadowing What Must Happen Next

It was not higher fees that killed Tucson’s Prop. 412. Instead, it was the Democratic, liberal vote — the climate vote — that tanked this proposition. The climate-concerned electorate may not have been all of the voters against Prop 412, but they were the deciding group.

If TEP, the Mayor and Council wish to pass a new franchise agreement, getting these voters onboard will be critical.

I'm 15. I worry about climate change. And now, I'm fighting back

As a rising high school junior, my mind is constantly consumed with worry over grades, college, learning to drive and preparing for debate tournaments.

But a new worry is overwhelming me: the deep fear I have for the future, where myself, my family, and my friends may face an impending ecological disaster.

I know I’m not alone in this – around the world millions of youth have organized to protest our right to a safe future.
