Extinction Rebellion Seattle, Seattle Cruise Control, Climate Action Families, & other organizations demonstrated against the opening of the Seattle-Alaska cruise season on Saturday, April 12th. To protect the people and planet we love from the harms of cruise ships we rallied at Pier 66 with lots of art, chants, fliers, and music.
The event featured young people dressed as sea creature characters highlighting how cruise ships pollute our waters, poison our air, endanger our health, jeopardize our climate, exploit onboard workers, and overwhelm destination communities. In the spirit of joyful resistance, music was provided by the Anti Fascist Marching Band. The Red Rebels shared their love and rage.
