Synopsis:

President Biden has the executive authority to stop fossil fuel expansion now, but he is not doing it. By refusing to stop major fossil fuel projects, the president has broken his campaign promises to protect Indigenous rights, prioritize environmental justice, and fully address the climate crisis. This week of action is trying to get him to listen to the people! Indigenous People’s Day is this Monday, and the Indigenous Environmental Network and people from front-line communities lead off People vs. Fossil Fuels, a week of action in Washington DC. Build Back Fossil Free, a coalition of hundreds of Indigenous, Black, environmental, climate justice, youth, and social justice groups, will be demonstrating outside the White House all week, each day focusing on a particular issue related to dirty energy and the current policy discussions. Today we have activists from two of the organizing groups Alex Beauchamp from Food & Water Watch and Ashley Nicole Engle of Indigenous Environmental Network.
