Join us in the Courtroom as we Defend Climate, Culture, and Communities

Dear Guardian,

The Greater Chaco region of northwestern New Mexico is under siege from fracking, but next week, we’re planning to turn the tide.

On Monday July 13, we’ll be in federal court making our stand for this sacred region. I’m attending the hearing and if you can, I’d love it if you’d join me.

Our hope? Convince a federal judge to order a halt to illegal drilling and fracking in Greater Chaco. Given what’s at stake—the health of Navajo communities, clean air and our climate, and the region's cultural integrity—it just makes sense.

But the oil and gas industry is spending millions of dollars to defeat us. And sadly, they have the backing of U.S. Department of the Interior. For them, the only thing that matters is money.

This is our chance for justice. Together with our native allies, we’ll make the case that money is no excuse to break the law. With you at our back, I know we’ll have a fighting chance.

Court Hearing on Motion to Enjoin Drilling and Fracking in Greater Chaco Region

When:           Monday, July 13, 9:00 AM MDT

Where:          Pete Domenici U.S. Courthouse, 333 Lomas Blvd. NW,
                      Albuquerque, NM 87102 (id required for entry into courthouse)

After the oral argument we’ll head to lunch (on us!) and talk about our impressions of the judicial process as well as our vision for Greater Chaco. RSVP by Friday so we can reserve adequate seats for lunch—seating is limited to twelve.

If you can, come to the hearing next week and witness Guardians deftly defending Greater Chaco. And if you can’t attend, don’t worry. Send us some good energy and keep Greater Chaco in your thoughts; we’ll continue to keep you posted.

For the wild,
