Join us for an outdoor ceremony and cultural event overlooking the US Steel Clairton Coke Works Plant — one of the worst sources of toxic, cancer-causing industrial air pollution in the nation.

We Refuse to Die launches with a multimedia installation at the Carnegie Museum of Art, as well as toxic tours, community rituals and other public events in Clairton, Braddock, East Palestine, and Pittsburgh.

To mark the launch of We Refuse to Die, billboards were installed at key sites of contestation across the Ohio River Valley.

The second day of “Unfence the Future” opens with a poetry reading by Cheyenne and Hudulgee Muscogee poet and Native American rights advocate Suzan Shown Harjo.

Unfence the Future opens with a blessing and song from Kwastlmut, Sadie Olsen (Lummi), a student and co-founder of Whiteswan Environmental.
