Our world faces a crisis, with life on the planet under attack. Beyond false solutions, critical questions emerge regarding food systems, economic models, and halting fossil fuel expansion. Climate justice groups are actively challenging dominant patriarchal cultures that exploit nature, other cultures, and women, advocating for biodiversity, ecosystem health, and the Rights of Nature.

Osprey Orielle Lake, founder of the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network, discusses her new book, The Story is in Our Bones: How Worldviews and Climate Justice Can Remake a World in Crisis, with host Dale Walkonen. Her work explores how climate justice can address these global challenges.

Women are at the forefront of the global climate crisis. They disproportionately experience its impacts yet are powerful agents of change.

Their leadership is crucial for ending the era of fossil fuels and implementing sustainable solutions worldwide. Empowering women is essential for effective climate action.

Indigenous knowledge provides crucial climate solutions. In Oklahoma, amidst extensive fracking, Casey Camp-Horinek (Ponca Nation) and her community, supported by WECAN, are constructing the Earthen Lodge. This project, rooted in Indigenous wisdom, fosters food sovereignty and climate resilience, aiming for seventh-generation survival.

Stewarded by the Pa'tha'ta Women's Society, the Lodge offers safe harbor during climate disasters, space for cultural teachings, and sustainable food and medicine. It addresses decades of oil pollution, supporting community strength against fossil fuel extraction and climate disruption.

On March 13, WECAN and the Indigenous Women's Treaty Alliance petitioned the Army Corps of Engineers in Washington D.C. They demanded a robust environmental review of the proposed Line 5 crude oil pipeline reroute.

Enbridge's Line 5 operates illegally, threatening sacred ecosystems, clean water, treaty territories, and the global climate. Despite opposition, Enbridge plans a reroute and expansion. Activists insist Line 5 must be shut down and decommissioned, not merely rerouted.

The Indigenous Women's Treaty Alliance, supported by WECAN, Sierra Club, and community allies, delivered the petition. WECAN has facilitated the Alliance, comprising Great Lakes Indigenous women leaders, since 2022.

From Oscar-nominated filmmakers Betsy West and Oren Jacoby, "This Is Not a Drill" documents three unlikely heroes confronting the powerful fossil fuel industry amidst escalating extreme weather. Justin J. Pearson rallies a multiracial coalition against a crude oil pipeline in Memphis, Roishetta Ozane transforms personal loss into political action in Louisiana, and Sharon Wilson, a former oil insider, exposes invisible methane leaks in Texas.

Backed by John D. Rockefeller's descendants, this coalition uncovers "Big Oil’s Big Con"—an industry promoting fossil fuels while disguising the truth. This Patagonia film showcases how courage, grit, and determination can inspire grassroots victories against powerful forces.
