FUSEE is one of many organizational members and leaders supporting the work of the Pacific Northwest Forest Climate Alliance (PNWFCA), a network of organizations and activists working at the intersection of forest defense and climate justice. PNWFCA members include more than 85 groups ranging from established organizations with decades of experience to small volunteer-led groups, as well as hundreds of individual activists from across OR, WA, ID, and CA.
FUSEE’s Engagement Director, Helena Virga, serves on the Steering Committee and helps lead work of the entire Alliance. Helena also co-leads the Wildfire Working Group that meets every month to discuss collaborative solutions and projects addressing wildfire issues in the PNW.
Currently, the Wildfire Working Group is helping organize around the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) Amendment. Check out the toolkit the group made to convey the importance of the NWFP and how to take action, like writing a comment letter to the Forest Service. If you are interested in participating in the Wildfire Working Group, please email helena@fusee.org.
FUSEE’s own Timothy Ingalsbee recently attended the PNWFCA winter gathering in Ashford, WA to strategize around 2025 planning and messaging, the importance of environmental groups leaning more into Tribal sovereignty solidarity work, the NWFP, powerful collaboration building, and more.
Do you live in or close to Eugene, love to party for a cause, and want to support the Alliance? Come join FUSEE on February 28th at the Oregon Wine Lab for the PNWFCA annual party with live music, food, drinks, trivia and more.
