Humanitarian aid volunteer Scott Warren faces up to 20 years in prison for providing food, water, and shelter to two undocumented migrants in Arizona's Sonoran Desert. An activist with Tucson-based No More Deaths, Warren is charged with three felony counts of "harboring" undocumented immigrants.

His arrest on January 17, 2018, occurred hours after No More Deaths released a report and video detailing U.S. Border Patrol agents intentionally destroying over 3,000 gallons of water left for migrants. Authorities subsequently raided "the Barn," a No More Deaths aid camp, where the two migrants were found. This story was published by Democracy Now! on May 29, 2019.

Casey, a respected activist for Indigenous rights, women's leadership, and the "Rights of Nature" movement, explores Indigenous perspectives on humanity's relationship with the natural world. She shares ancestral wisdom for harmoniously interacting with Earth, Air, Water, and Fire.

This talk highlights sophisticated traditional Indigenous land, water, and fire stewardship strategies. These methods, now being "rediscovered" by contemporary managers, offer crucial lessons for addressing the climate crisis.

On September 12, 2024, WECAN launched its "Gendered and Racial Impacts of the Fossil Fuel Industry in North America" report. This fourth edition details how fossil fuel extraction disproportionately harms women, particularly in Black, Brown, Indigenous, and low-income communities, leading to increased health risks, violence, and human rights violations. It also identifies complicit financial institutions and recommends steps for accountability and a just transition.

The virtual launch featured frontline women leaders, health experts, and advocates. Speakers like Roishetta Sibley Ozane, Rene Ann Goodrich, Sharon Lavigne, and Casey Camp Horinek demanded that financial institutions take action to protect communities, ecosystems, and the climate.

Indigenous knowledge provides crucial climate solutions. In Oklahoma, amidst extensive fracking, Casey Camp-Horinek (Ponca Nation) and her community, supported by WECAN, are constructing the Earthen Lodge. This project, rooted in Indigenous wisdom, fosters food sovereignty and climate resilience, aiming for seventh-generation survival.

Stewarded by the Pa'tha'ta Women's Society, the Lodge offers safe harbor during climate disasters, space for cultural teachings, and sustainable food and medicine. It addresses decades of oil pollution, supporting community strength against fossil fuel extraction and climate disruption.
