Tribal leaders incl. @PresFawnSharp are saying Washington @GovInslee used and betrayed them after he vetoed a provision requiring tribal consent for some #climatechange-fighting projects. kuow.org/stories/tribal-lead…

A backlash is growing over Gov. Jay Inslee's veto of provisions in climate bills signed into law earlier in the week. The provisions would have given tribes more power over the siting of alternative energy projects meant to address climate change. st.news/3f7nXDd

(4 of 6) Tribes are not alone in opposing Inslee's betrayal of his word & violation of Indigenous human rights. The @WAHouseDems, @WASenDemocrats, @washdems all opposed, lobbied against his abuse of power.
Read what two powerful Democratic Party Committee Chairs have to say:

(3 of 6) This week I also realized the only thing I have ever agreed with Donald Trump about is that Jay Inslee is a snake.
Please read why below, share to support WA Tribes, and give Inslee's office a call to let him know Indigenous human rights are not negotiable: 360-902-4111

(2 of 6) WA Tribes triumphed this week in passing into law the USA's best climate change policies, including billions in guaranteed funding parity, Tribal relocation funding, "consent" instead of "consultation."
Please read and share my statement on this historic victory.

Televising someone with Rick Santorum's views on Native American genocide is fundamentally no different than putting an outright Nazi on television to justify the Holocaust. @PresFawnSharp @NCAI1944 #RickSantorum #Racism #Genocide #Media indianz.com/News/2021/04/26/…
