Juneau Protesters Rally Against Shell’s Arctic Plans
Juneau Protesters Rally Against Shell’s Arctic Plans
By Elizabeth Jenkins, KTOO – Juneau | June 18, 2015
A crowd of about 40 gathered in the drizzling rain outside Juneau’s federal building this afternoon to protest Royal Dutch Shell’s oil rig, the Polar Pioneer. The vessel left Seattle on Monday after weeks of public outcry.
Alaska Climate Action Network organizer Elaine Schroder is passing out a rainbow of signs to people arriving at the rally. Handwritten slogans in splashes of yellow and blue.
“Let’s take a look at them,” she says. “This says ‘Alaska moms for a renewable future: there is no creature more dangerous than a mother bear protecting her cubs’ so that’s one of our more adorable signs. ”
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
