On March 13, WECAN and the Indigenous Women's Treaty Alliance petitioned the Army Corps of Engineers in Washington D.C. They demanded a robust environmental review of the proposed Line 5 crude oil pipeline reroute.

Enbridge's Line 5 operates illegally, threatening sacred ecosystems, clean water, treaty territories, and the global climate. Despite opposition, Enbridge plans a reroute and expansion. Activists insist Line 5 must be shut down and decommissioned, not merely rerouted.

The Indigenous Women's Treaty Alliance, supported by WECAN, Sierra Club, and community allies, delivered the petition. WECAN has facilitated the Alliance, comprising Great Lakes Indigenous women leaders, since 2022.

Al Gore criticized leaders at the January 2023 Davos forum for climate inaction, emphasizing how fossil fuel-based economies are pushing us toward the IPCC's worst scenarios. Daily, 16 million tons of greenhouse gases enter the troposphere, a number that continues to climb.

While we appreciate Gore's vital passion, it's also crucial to address animal agriculture alongside fossil fuel reduction.

In 2024, the Klamath River dam removal marked a historic, Indigenous-led victory, achieving the largest river restoration ever. Blending Indigenous knowledge and modern science, the project shows remarkable early results: salmon are returning abundantly to spawning grounds inaccessible for a century.

Amy Bowers Cordalis of Ridges to Riffles Indigenous Conservation Group emphasizes Indigenous values and nature-based solutions from the Klamath. This approach heals land, water, and people while boosting the economy. Restoring the river as a living relative offers a vital path forward for all.
