A bridge over Deception Pass off Whidbey Island The Greenpeace ship the Arctic Sunrise is on a tour following the route that would experience a seven-fold increase in tar sands tanker oil traffic if the pipeline expansion is completed. The report documents the communities threatened by the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, which would worsen the effects of global warming, risk poisoning water, jeopardize the hundreds of thousands of jobs that depend on clean coasts, violate Indigenous sovereignty, and threaten the extinction of the Southern Resident Orca Whale, of which only 75 remain.
Employees for UC Davis' Oiled Wildlife Care Network search for affected animals inside a containment area as crews work to contain a nearly 600 gallon oil spill in Richmond, California on February 10, 2021. As the pandemic drags on, some residents of the Bay Area faced a different kind of health emergency on February 9th: an oil spill. Around 600 gallons of an oil-and-water mixture spilled from a Chevron oil refinery in Richmond, California into the San Francisco Bay, the company told local health authorities.
The incident triggered a Level 2 health advisory from the local health department for residents of three surrounding communities, which was lifted later in the evening. Other agencies said that they are continuing the investigation, especially watching for any impacts the spill might have on wildlife.
Richmond is predominantly Black and Latino, groups often exposed to higher levels of pollution, and as a result, face more health problems. Refineries like Chevron’s have historically been sited in communities of color, while other historic injustices such as redlining have locked in still more negative public health impacts today.

The ship is following the route that would experience a seven-fold increase in tar sands tanker oil traffic if the pipeline expansion is completed.

Workers clean up an oil spill in South Dakota. An estimated 210,000 gallons of oil leaked from the Keystone Pipeline in Marshall County, South Dakota, according to the pipeline's operator, TransCanada.
Crews shut down the pipeline and officials are investigating the cause of the leak. A federal agency says a leak was caused by damage during construction in 2008. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration issued a corrective action report on the estimated 210,000-gallon oil spill. The report says a weight installed on the pipeline nearly a decade ago may have damaged the pipeline and coating.

Activist gather for a regional training for the growing movement of water-based fossil fuel resistance in the Pacific Northwest. The purpose of the gathering is to strengthen on-water resistance to Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion. The project directly threatens the health of our local communities and ecosystems, as well as global climate. The camp is presented by the Mosquito Fleet in partnership with Greenpeace.
Tim DeChristopher, area clergy and the larger resistance against the West Roxbury Lateral Pipeline. Approximately a dozen people climbed into the pipeline trenches making the connection between this new fracked gas fossil fuel project and the mass graves being prepared in anticipation of the coming climate fueled Summer heat.
Watch Tim's remarks on our entering "the age of anticipatory mass graves" driven by climate change and ongoing fossil fuel emissions.

Trump escaped to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania for yet another campaign style rally with the suckers who voted for him.

The crowd cheers as Bob Rees, Executive Director of the Association of Northwest Steelheaders, speaks at a rally outside the Washington State’s Department of Ecology, Cowlitz County and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers first of three public hearings regarding the proposed coal export terminal at Longview, Washington.

Greenpeace’s historic ship, the Arctic Sunrise, arrives in Seattle, Washington. “The Arctic Sunrise is here because of the threat to Pacific Northwest communities from the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion,” said Rachel Rye Butler, a Pipeline Campaigner with Greenpeace. “The pipeline expansion would violate Indigenous sovereignty and cause a sevenfold increase in tar sands tanker traffic down the West Coast, threatening extinction of the Southern Resident Orca Whale, and jeopardizing the thousands of tourism and fishing industry jobs that depend on clean coasts.”

Oakland, CA - On October 23rd, ninety-two of the world's largest banks met in São Paulo, Brazil to vote on a policy that upholds Indigenous people's right to Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) to allow or disallow projects on their lands. Local activists and environmental allies protested against three of the banks involved with the financing of dirty fossil fuel projects (like the Dakota Access Pipeline and Keystone XL). The day started off with a prayer circle, followed by three divestment actions at Wells Fargo, Citibank, and JPMorgan Chase. This action was part of a global divestment movement, where over 50 actions were held across the world.

WASHINGTON DC, USA -- Sunday, May 15th, 2016. Hundreds of climate activists protest at a rally organized by the Break Free movement against fossil fuel projects. Demonstrators went to the streets at the nation's capital to protest in front of the White House, calling on the decision makers in Washington DC to support the transition to renewable energy instead of coal, oil and gas energy.
Break Free 2016 is a week of coordinated direct actions that target the most dangerous fossil fuel projects, in an effort to keep coal, oil and gas in the ground and accelerate a just transition to 100% renewable energy. Thousands of people all over the planet are putting their bodies on the line to send a message to polluters and politicians that we need to break free from fossil fuels now.

Demolition continues on the Crawford Coal Power Plant in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago. It was closed in 2012 after a long battle with community activists. It was owned by Midwest Generation, a subsidiary of Edison International. Demolition of the plant began in 2019. On April 11, 2020, the concrete smokestack was imploded and created a large dust cloud that covered the surrounding neighborhood.
A grassroots-led coalition united under the banner “Yes for Health and Safety Over Fracking” delivered boxes of signatures on August 8, 2016, to place two initiatives on Colorado’s November ballot. The initiatives, #75 and #78, aim to address shortcomings in state law and regulations around hydraulic fracturing (fracking) for oil and natural gas. The petition signatures were delivered to the Colorado Secretary of State's office in Denver.
