Karina Gonzalez is one of three student leaders for Fossil Free Northern Arizona University, a student run campaign pushing the university to divest from the top 200 coal, oil, and natural gas corporations by 2017. Gonzalez coordinates all key negotiations with the university president, leads on-campus recruitment efforts, and provides canvassing training. She also manages campaign media relations, and has leveraged campaign successes for national media coverage, including a segment on Democracy Now! The FFNAU campaign is currently the only divestment campaign in Arizona, and is unique for its commitment to building meaningful partnerships with non-campus communities. Gonzalez has helped foster this commitment through her work with the Black Mesa Water Coalition, an Indigenous environmental organization in Flagstaff. FFNAU is currently working with the coalition to push her university to invest in sustainability projects on the Navajo Nation. In addition to her role on campus, Karina coordinates a United Nations youth delegate leadership program.

Harp seal pups are some of the cutest on the ice. They are born with a completely white coat. As they mature, they grow into the silver-white coat of adults, developing the black harp-shaped designs

Harp seal pups are some of the cutest on the ice. They are born with a completely white coat. As they mature, they grow into the silver-white coat of adults, developing the black harp-shaped designs that give the species its name. For seals that live a life on ice, a warming ocean is an existential threat. That is why Oceana campaigns against drivers of climate change like dirty offshore drilling and promotes the adoption of renewable sources of energy such as offshore wind. You can help by making a symbolic harp seal adoption. All gifts go toward making our world's oceans healthier and safer for harp seals and other marine life. https://bit.ly/3o7nlEU Subscribe to our channel to join our community of Wavemakers! 🌊 LET’S STAY CONNECTED: INSTAGRAM » https://www.instagram.com/oceana/ TWITTER » http://twitter.com/oceana FACEBOOK » https://www.facebook.com/oceana/
