Anchorage Rally; Jennifer O'Brien of Anchorage helps hold a Redoil sign. Allied groups opposed to Shell’s Arctic drilling, host a “Rally to Confront the Glacial Pace of Political Action” in Anchorage, as President Obama meets with ministers from around the world for the "GLACIER" conference at the nearby Dena’ina Civic and Convention Center. Speakers, performers, and activists at the rally will vocally and visibly highlight what they see as the President’s deeply hypocritical move to come to their state to highlight climate change immediately after he gave Shell approval to drill in the Arctic ocean. Solidarity rallies in Seattle and Portland, site of two major protests against Shell’s Arctic drilling, will be ongoing throughout the day as well.
