ANACORTES, WASHINGTON-- On Saturday, May 14, 2016, Thousands of people marched to March Point in Anacortes, WA, as part of the Indigenous Day of Action during Break Free.
The peaceful march went along the shores of Fidalgo Bay in front of the Shell and Tesoro refineries. The people at the march were there to highlight the moral urgency of immediate action to combat climate change.
The three-mile procession march was led by indigenous community leaders from the area, and ended at the northeast tip of March Point. The people at the march then joined the “It’s in our Hands” indigenous gathering and ceremony.
Anacortes is home to two fossil fuel refineries owned by Shell and Tesoro. These refineries are the largest unaddressed source of carbon pollution in the Northwest and they refine 47% of all the gas and diesel used in the region.
Break Free Pacific Northwest events will continue throughout the weekend.

STAND WITH COMMUNITIES, NOT CORPORATIONS
September 13, 2018 - As the Global Climate Action Summit (GCAS) begins, Indigenous and frontline communities continue to send Governor Brown and those attending the summit the message - stand with communities, not the climate profiteers and the fossil fuel industry.
From the organizers:
"Jerry Brown’s promotion of continued fossil fuel production, carbon trading markets and other incentives to oil, gas and other polluting corporations, perpetuates climate change and decimates Indigenous communities and Native nations, communities of color and other working class peoples throughout California and around the world.
Such perverse subsidies for “climate capitalism” will turn frontline communities into sacrifice zones for decades to come."
Today's action began at Jessie Park with a march to Moscone Center, the site of the summit. In a return appearance, 1000 Grandmothers Bay Area blocked intersections to create a safe space for the protesters outside the summit.
This weeks actions have been organized by Idle No More SF Bay, Diablo Rising Tide, the Ruckus Society, It Takes Roots, Indigenous Environmental Network, the Sunflower Alliance and Brown's Last Chance.
