Join us for an evening with Our Children’s Trust Staff Attorney, Joanna Zeigler, alongside one of the Alaska youth plaintiffs (TBA) to share their pursuit of climate justice through the courts. Eight young people across the state of Alaska recently filed Sagoonick v. State of Alaska II, a new constitutional climate lawsuit to stop the Alaska LNG project and protect their rights to a safe climate. Joanna has been working with youth plaintiffs on a number of state lawsuits including Alaska and Hawai’i. Join us to hear more about this very important court case and get brief updates on the others.
