.@dallasgoldtooth shares story of resistance at #fossilfreefest about how he got into the movement and what makes him continue with love and commitment to his ancestry.
Challenge narratives - “when Shell donates to restoration of our wetlands think how much they spend on lobbying, avoiding profit sharing with us...I know the oil industry was a part of my upbringing- but it poisoned us, destroyed our land, life, sacred sites.” @LouisianaJessi
“I want us to educate ourselves. Trust your suspicions & dig deeper. Talk to people with opinions other than yours. Include people into this dialogue & transition from oil, we are all part of this process.” @LouisianaJessi#FossilFreeCulture
“We need to stop saying things are impossible. My tribe being allowed to go to school was impossible. We looked impossible in the face. Phasing our oil and gas is not impossible. We are all complicit in oil consumption but oil companies must be held accountable.” @LouisianaJessi
.@LouisianaJessi “it’s hard to isolate what creates coastal erosion. It is a combination of extraction, deforestation, levies and hurricanes. These are ghost forests that I only knew like this in my lifetime.”
.@LouisianaJessi my ancestors have been thriving, adapting to their environments to survive. Everyone wanted a piece of this land, but there were people on those pieces. #FossilFreeCulture
