Via the nrdc_org: On their way out, the Trump Administration is trying to slip one last favor to oil & gas corporations by rushing the auctioning of drilling rights in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge - ignoring Indigenous communities and the millions of people across the world who stand with them against drilling in the coastal plain. ⠀⠀⠀⠀ Respect for Indigenous rights is key to stemming and reversing climate change. Listen to Chief Dana Tizya-Tramm of the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation speak about the impacts of oil and gas drilling in the Arctic ⬆️ and go to on.nrdc.org/DefendTheArctic (link in bio) to take action to defend this critical ecosystem from further extraction and exploitation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀ #StandWithGwitchin #IndigenousSovereignty #DefendtheArctic #WeAreTheArctic
