What are the risks from genetically engineered fish to the people and environments of the Pacific Northwest?
We tackled this question head-on with our short film Salmon People. Town Hall Seattle and Community Alliance for Global Justice (CAGJ) join to screen this powerful new film and call together a panel of indigenous and advocacy perspectives—all key activists working on Northwest Native food sovereignty and justice in the Pacific Northwest.
Sit in to hear from the voices across the Pacific Northwest who are speaking out about the risks of genetically engineered fish.
