On August 17, 2020, the Trump administration opened the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge's 1.5 million-acre Coastal Plain to oil and gas lease sales, possibly by December. This decision, amidst an oil glut and climate change concerns, targets the last 5% of America's previously protected Arctic Coastal Plain. It threatens to transform these wild lands into an industrial complex, jeopardizing the Gwich'in Nation's food security, spiritual, and cultural heritage—they call it "the sacred place where life begins." This move also endangers polar bears, the Porcupine Caribou herd, and migratory birds, marking a critical environmental and social justice conflict.

A video features Gwich'in community members from the 2016 Gwich'in Gathering, testifying against this development.

American democracy often excludes youth, despite public policy significantly impacting their lives. Young people possess powerful, dynamic voices ready to contribute to policymaking. It's time to challenge negative perceptions and redefine inclusivity to ensure youth are fully represented.

She serves as Southwest Regional Director for March For Our Lives and Captain of her Speech and Debate team, planning a career in nonprofit law.
