The Arctic in Los Angeles
Culture, Storytelling, and Climate Justice Uniting Communities on the Frontlines of the Climate Crisis
Together we can be the solution to the climate crisis that threatens our culture, rights, health, and existence. Like those standing up to the fossil fuel industry at Standing Rock, the refineries in Port Arthur, Texas, the Atlantic Coast Pipeline on the east coast, and oil drilling and refineries here in Los Angeles, the Gwich'in people in the Arctic are standing up for their way of life and at the same time for all of us on this planet.
This event will be a beautiful way to spend a Saturday afternoon, transporting you to a place so few of us ever get a chance to go. Come feed your soul and open your eyes to our indigenous brothers and sisters in Alaska who are standing up for all our futures.
