John,

Please join me in supporting the Way of the Masks campaign throughout September. The Way of the Masks will chart a Native-led journey of ceremony and resistance to protect ancient forests, salmon habitat, and Tribal sovereignty.

From September 6 to 20, Indigenous leaders from Se’Si’Le and the Lummi Nation’s House of Tears Carvers will travel over 1,600 miles across the Northwest. They will travel with carved cedar masks that honor the sacred balance of life, called xaalh.

This journey will feature 10 stops, open to the public, in Bellingham, Olympia, Portland, Eugene, Klamath River, Lapwai, Lower Elwha, and Seattle.

What: The Way of the Masks tour

When and Where: Multiple stops from September 6 through 20.

Save the dates! [[link removed]]

This year’s campaign centers on defending the Roadless Rule. As one of the strongest protections for our remaining wild forests, this rule protects National Forest lands from road construction and logging. That protection is now under threat from federal rollbacks.

The Way of the Masks events along the route will bring together Tribal Nations, local communities, faith leaders, and environmental advocates to share ceremony and build solidarity.

Washington Conservation Action helped organize this journey with Se’Si’Le and partners, including Save Our Wild Salmon, Sierra Club, and others. Together, we’re calling for the protection of these sacred ecosystems.

I invite you to show up, spread the word, and stand in defense of forests, rivers, and justice.
