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.

Last year, Dejah Powell founded Get Them to the Green (G2G) to foster environmental passion among Chicago youth, especially youth of color. G2G's first initiative was a summer camp, engaging 14 young people in environmental justice, sustainability, and food agriculture.

G2G has since partnered with Gardenneers to build a school garden at Powell’s elementary school, providing hands-on outdoor education. The organization also conducts environmental education workshops throughout the city.

Now a Cornell senior, Powell believes understanding environmental problems is key to solving them. She hopes urban environmental education will improve eco-literacy and help under-resourced communities access vital local and global conversations.
