Below: Shirley Morrison, center, along with fellow members of the “Seattle Raging Grannies,” speaks in protest of Royal Dutch Shell during a hearing of the Port of Seattle Commission in Seattle, Washington on May 12, 2015. The hearing was held to examine the permit of Foss Maritime and its agreement with Shell, to decide the future of a Shell oil drilling rig’s potential presence in the Port of Seattle.
