Indigenous Environmental Network Marches for Climate Change

Members of the Indigenous Environmental Network (IEN) took the lead at the Forward on Climate march of 35,000 people in DC, protesting the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, and asking for limits on carbon pollution and investment in renewable energies. While in DC, five indigenous and First Nation women of the Women’s Earth Climate Caucus delivered a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency from IEN, Climate Justice Alignment and others calling for stronger action on climate change.

IEN is a member of the US Food Sovereignty Alliance and Simone Senogles co-chairs the Defense of Mother Earth Work Team with Sara Mersha of Grassroots International.
