Published on September 12, 2016, Democracy Now covered the Standing Rock standoff, interviewing Winona LaDuke.

LaDuke, a longtime Native American activist and executive director of Honor the Earth, lives on Minnesota's White Earth Reservation. She previously led a successful fight against the Sandpiper pipeline, which was similar to the Dakota Access project.

The interview took place at Red Warrior Camp, one of the encampments where thousands of Native Americans from hundreds of tribes across the U.S. and Canada were resisting the pipeline's construction.

Bill McKibben spoke at the Marion Institute in New Bedford, MA, from October 26-28, 2012. His presentation focused on the ongoing fight against global warming, urging New Englanders to join the effort.

McKibben, author of a dozen environmental books including the seminal *The End of Nature* (1989), co-founded the grassroots climate campaign 350.org. A fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, he notably led the 2011 White House protest against the Keystone pipeline, which resulted in 1,253 arrests—the largest civil disobedience action in 30 years.

2016 marked the hottest year on record, continuing a decades-long warming trend. Scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) analyzed global measurements, confirming Earth’s average surface temperature has risen approximately 2.0°F (1.1°C) since the late 19th century.

This significant temperature increase is largely attributed to human emissions into the atmosphere.

The clean energy transition, often associated with the affluent, is fundamentally a civil rights issue. Communities of color disproportionately suffer from toxic pollution near factories and refineries, leading African Americans and Latinos to express greater concern about climate change than whites.

Despite this critical link, environmental movements frequently lack diversity and struggle to engage these communities. We delve into these challenges with hip hop artist and activist Mystic, civil rights hero Rev. Gerald Durley, and civil rights lawyer Ingrid Brostrom.

On September 21, 2009, President Barack Obama outlined his vision for innovation, growth, and quality jobs at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy, NY. He emphasized revitalizing regions like Upstate New York and Midwest manufacturing cities through hard work and strategic investment in new industries, aiming to prevent cycles of economic boom and bust.

Obama clarified that the recovery plan was just a starting point, with the ultimate strategy focused on achieving sustained growth and widely shared prosperity. A key national goal was for the U.S. to lead the world in the proportion of college graduates by 2020.

On the 40th anniversary of the 'Blue Marble' photograph, Planetary Collective presents a short film. It documents astronauts' life-changing stories of seeing Earth from space—a perspective-altering experience known as the Overview Effect.

First described by Frank White in 1987, the Overview Effect transforms an astronaut's view of the planet and humanity's place. It commonly evokes awe for Earth, a profound understanding of life's interconnection, and a renewed sense of environmental responsibility.
