Portland Community Hearing: Protect the Arctic Refuge Coastal Plain
March 26 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
The federal government is advancing another oil and gas lease sale in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge’s Coastal Plain — sacred to the Gwich’in people and critical habitat for caribou, polar bears, migratory birds, and other species.
Join Alaska Wilderness League with co-host Love is King to stand in solidarity with the Gwich’in and Iñupiat land protectors, speak directly to oil companies, and put your opposition to drilling on record. The evening includes remarks from the Gwich’in Steering Committee and an open floor for community testimony. You do not have to speak to attend.
Doors open at 6:00 pm; pizza will be available. Families welcome.
