An afternoon fundraising and movement building event inviting our diverse movements to pull together behind Indigenous leadership on fossil fuel campaigns.
Find out how you can take strategic action to protect land, air and water from fossil fuel expansion projects, notably the Kinder Morgan pipeline that threatens our Salish Sea home. Learn how movements, in solidarity with strong indigenous leaders and communities, are making gains around the world, and discover how you can take action, right now, in your own backyard.
