Dear John,
Last week, eight young people filed a constitutional climate lawsuit Sagoonick v. State of Alaska II against their state, the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation (AGDC), and AGDC President Frank Richards. The youth plaintiffs, many of whom are Alaska Natives, are on the frontlines of the climate crisis and already experiencing serious harms to their health, safety, and access to natural resources they depend on, including for subsistence and cultural traditions.
This month, we invite you to learn about the people, the progress, and the science behind this youth-led constitutional climate lawsuit.
