Energy isn’t clean or green if it destroys tribal resources and the natural world. We have a chance now to protect sacred land, medicines, and traditions from destruction. Protect Pushpum, mother of roots. Stop the Goldendale Pumped Storage project. Learn more about this issue and take action now — please sign this petition to save Pushpum!
The Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission renounced its responsibility to review public rulemaking petitions in August, after those petitions forced them to discuss measures to protect wolves, cougars, bears, and salmon.
Now these petitions will go to Director Kelly Susewind, who will rule on them behind closed doors, allowing the Commission to duck tough decisions while the Director continues to allow overexploitation of our fish and wildlife. Commissioners admitted their aim was to shut down public input on their agenda, with some openly criticizing the public for pushing them to address controversial issues that they prefer to ignore.
We must remind Commissioners that THEY REPRESENT US, demand that they live up to their responsibility to protect and preserve our wildlife, and let them know that we will not be silenced!
Please sign the petition asking Commissioners to reverse this decision and restore the public’s voice!
