Tool Kit, Road Map, and Community Resource for a Fossil Fuel-Free Future

Forged out of a commitment to preserve the history of the ongoing struggle to keep the Pacific Northwest from being transformed into a toxic fossil fuel transport corridor, this project was Inspired by the courage and commitment of ordinary people speaking out and standing up.

Study, teach, and share tactics and strategies that activists in the Pacific Northwest are using to beat back Big Oil and hold The Thin Green Line.

This website is for everyone–a resource for people and communities who are already involved in the fight, and for educators in universities–and K-12. Use these documents to teach, design, and share curriculum, and build on, and draw inspiration from the Zinn Education Project and Rethinking Schools, to educate, inspire, and empower new generations of “climate warriors.”

For a centrally searchable database and archive that includes:

  • videotaped testimony
  • oral history interviews with activists involved in the struggle
  • legislation, ordinances, and resolutions
  • music and artivism of fossil fuel resistance
  • lectures, talks, and more
