FRIENDS, WE’VE STARTED A GOFUNDME CAMPAIGN TO FUND A DOCUMENTARY EXPOSING THOSE WHO ARE PUSHING THE SOUTHERN RESIDENT ORCAS AND SALMON TO EXTINCTION. WE’RE FORTUNATE TO BE WORKING WITH JOHN CARLOS FREY, A SIX-TIME EMMY AWARD WINNING INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER WHO HAS WORKED WITH ALL THE MAJOR TELEVISION NEWS PROGRAMS, PBS AND THE WEATHER CHANNEL. PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING AND SHARING THE LINK WITH OTHERS SO THAT THEY MAY DONATE, TOO.
Our Mission: We are a community group educating people to recognize the inherent rights of the Southern Resident Orcas. Under our current legal system humans and corporations have legal standing but animals and ecosystems don’t. We believe that animals and ecosystems should also have legal rights, not just protections that can be changed by different administrations.
You’ll find information about our campaign in the toolkit created with our partners at the Earth Law Center. If you have any questions, please contact us.
We began this work in 2016. In 2018, we were fortunate to partner with Michelle Bender at the Earth Law Center, ELC. In 2023, the Northwest Animal Rights Network, NARN, came on board to help with our work. NARN is able to provide legal support, connections and assistance with all aspects of our campaign. We are also fortunate to work with Dam Truth, leading the way to breaching the lower Snake River dams in order to save salmon and the SROs.
Rights of Nature means that we recognize that the Earth and all her ecosystems are living beings with inalienable rights: to exist, to live free of cruel treatment, to maintain vital processes necessary for the harmonious balance that supports all life. ~Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature.
We are grateful to Jill Neumeister at Orca Design Group for creating our logos.
