ANACORTES, WASHINGTON-- On Sunday, March 15, 2016, over a hundred people gathered at March Point to sit-in at the entrance to the Shell oil refineries in Anacortes, WA.

Over the weekend, thousands of people converged in Anacortes, WA, as part of the global climate mobilization Break Free. Many risked arrest by engaging in peaceful civil disobedience throughout the weekend to highlight the moral urgency of immediate action to combat climate change.

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.
