Join Portland Rising Tide and Rising Tide Vancouver, Coast Salish
Territories explore the recent struggles and successes of the North
American Climate Justice Movement. As the Fossil Fuel Empire strains to
expand, with increased fracking, mountain top removal, coal exports, tar
sands production, and new pipelines and extraction sites from North to
South, hear from those actively building resistance and taking direct
action to confront the root causes of climate change.

Members of Portland Rising Tide will present on the state of the climate
movement in the United States and the emerging resistance in Alaska,
British Columbia, Washington and Oregon to more than a dozen proposed oil,
gas and coal export terminals. The presenters will discuss the context in
which this debate is happening in Oregon and Washington and will offer a
local case study of the 2010 defeat of a LNG facility along the Columbia
River in Oregon, the Bradwood Landing project. They will also discuss
resistance to the Keystone XL pipeline in the US by groups such as the Tar
Sands Blockade and Great Plains Tar Sands Resistance. Both case studies
are offered in light of current and future resistance to the discussed
terminals and pipelines.

Members of Rising Tide Vancouver, Coast Salish Territories will provide
the first report back from their 2013 BC Fracking Tour. Hear and see what
fracking looks like on the frontline, listen to activists recall
experiences on the tour and re-tell the stories gathered in communities
directly impacted by fracking in the province.
Saturday 18th May, 7pm, Free
Grandview Calvary Baptist Church - 1803 East First Avenue - accessible
through side door.

Rising Tide Vancouver, Coast Salish Territory is a grassroots
environmental justice group committed to fighting the root causes of
climate change and the interconnected destruction of land, water, and air.
