350 Wenatchee Climate Conversations NCW

In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies.

🚨On Saturday, June 14, we’re taking to the streets nationwide. We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.🚨 Wenatchee Event: Memorial Park 11:00-1:00 Please stay only on the sidewalks.

Because there are soooooo many negative events happening in our country right now, I will also be posting events that are not necessarily environmental in nature. I will also let you know of upcoming protests and actions. One place to stay updated is the newly created community calendar, CHANNEL Z. You can access CHANNEL Z at: NCWCHANNELZ.COM OR EMAIL:  NCWchannelZ@gmail.com or click here: http://ncwchannelz.com

Help Elwha forest defenders!

Sharing this call to action from forest defenders on the Olympic Peninsula, who launched a tree sit blockade to halt the clear-cut logging of one of the last low-elevation mature forests in the Elwha Watershed. See the photos & press release below in this email, or find more info about the protest here.

Community support for the protest is growing; late yesterday afternoon, dozens risked arrest and marched past the police closure blocking access to the tree sit, and rallied in support of the forest defender camped in the canopy. The timber sale, known as “Parched”, is currently under litigation by the Earth Law Center and Legacy Forest Defense Coalition. A petition—started by members of the Lower Elwha Kallam Tribe urging that the watershed be protected—has been signed by over half of tribal members, as well as being widely supported by local residents, and has garnered over 7,000 total.

How to Support — Call the Commissioner of Public Lands

Activists are asking supporters and the public to call Washington’s Commissioner of Public Lands–Dave Upthegrove, (360) 902-1000 ext 4–and tell them
1. you support the tree-sit,
2. to call off the cops endangering protesters,
3. to cancel the timber sale and
4. halt clearcutting in the recovering Elwha watershed.More info and talking points for calling CPL Upthegrove’s office here. Help spreading the word on social media is also appreciated. It seems like the @elwhatlegacyforestscoalition and @sacred.action.northwest Instagram pages are where updates are being shared from, and folks can contact olympicforestdefenders@proton.me Thanks,
