Imagine: a ship slams into a whale, leaving it to bleed out. A hunter harpoons a pregnant mother. Now imagine something radical: those responsible are taken to court – because whales have legal rights.

This is no fantasy.

Indigenous leaders from the Pacific Islands are working with their governments to pass a law that would give whales legal personhood — letting people represent them in court, and forcing those who harm them to face justice.

And now, they’re asking the world to stand with them.

In just three weeks, they’ll launch this bold campaign at the UN Ocean Conference in France — and if we’re loud enough, we can help them convince more countries to join. Add your name now, and we’ll help Indigenous leaders carry this vision onto the global stage – and into the heart of power.
