Treaty Rights vs. Fossil Fuels

Thursday, January 28

7:30pm to 8:30pm

This event is organized by Hillel UW students as part of the Big Bold Jewish Climate Fest.

Join UW students to learn about the vital relationship between Native American treaty rights and climate justice. We'll learn about treaty rights and environmental protection from Jconnect member and lawyer Jeremy Wood (bio below). And we'll learn about the current campaign to halt Puget Sound Energy's fracked gas (LNG) plant under construction on the tideflats of the Puyallup Tribe's reservation on the Salish Sea (Puget Sound). We will hear from community organizers about the moral imperative to uphold treaties, the state of the struggle around Tacoma LNG, and what the Jewish community can do to support the Puyallup Tribe's treaty rights against encroachment and pollution by the fossil fuel industry.

Check out other Big Bold Jewish Climate Fest events for students.
