Meet Bernadette, a proud Gwich’in, environmental activists and beautiful human. This week, Congress plans to fast track drilling in the Arctic Refuge by using special rules in the budget process. This bill will allow drilling in an area that is not only sacred to the Gwich'in Steering Committee but is the birthing grounds of the Porcupine Caribou Herd, which comprises 80% of people's food source. This is a food justice issue! The Gwich'in are already impacted by climate change, with their lands thawing at 3 times the rate they used to. And now, their very lives are on the brink with the threat to the caribou, their food source. They need your help, CALL.WRITE.DEFEND.
