I’m honored to be recognized by the @economicarchitecture and featured on their podcast, View From The Frontier. The work Dr. Stuart Yasgur and his team are doing, bringing together innovators, community leaders, and those most proximate to the issues, is exactly what we need to spark real change. It’s inspiring to see a platform dedicated to redesigning our markets for the public good and fostering the kind of structural innovations that lift everyone. Thank you, Economic Architecture, for contributing to our broader effort to learn from people who are reimagining what’s possible.
Earth Day feels even more meaningful this year. Today, we’re celebrating the planet we all share by taking a big step forward in how we show up for it. Today, we honor the communities on the frontlines of environmental injustice, those who have long protected the land, air, and water we hold dear. Join us this Earth Day in celebrating and building a future where environmental protection and stewardship go hand-in-hand. 🌎🌱

This Earth Month, we’re diving deep into the roots of environmental justice with Catherine Coleman Flowers. As a MacArthur “Genius” Fellow, Reed Award winner, and a fierce advocate for rural communities, Catherine’s work reminds us the fight for a healthy environment is inseparable from the fight for human dignity.
In our latest interview, she reflects on her award-winning collection of essays, “Holy Ground: On Activism, Environmental Justice, and Finding Hope.”

A huge congratulations to the honorable, @michaelbjordan , on his Oscar Award for Best Actor. Sinners has been a testament to his extraordinary range, dedication, and ability to bring raw, compelling emotion to the big screen. This performance will be remembered as a defining moment in his career and an inspiration to storytellers everywhere. Our founder, @catherinecflowers , met him at the TIME 100 gala in 2023 a few years after his extraordinary performance as lawyer and social justice activist, Bryan Stevenson in Just Mercy.

💧Autumn Peltier – Indigenous Water Protector from the Anishinabek Nation who has spoken at the United Nations about protecting water as a sacred human right.
💧Maude Barlow – Global water rights advocate and co founder of the Blue Planet Project, instrumental in advancing water as a human right worldwide.
💧Catherine Coleman Flowers – Sanitation justice leader exposing wastewater and infrastructure inequalities impacting rural communities.
💧Kelsey Leonard – Indigenous water governance scholar working to advance equitable water policy and protect Indigenous water rights.
💧Erin Brockovich – Environmental advocate who helped expose water contamination and continues to empower communities to fight for clean water.
💧Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim – Indigenous climate leader from Chad elevating traditional knowledge in global conversations about water and climate resilience.

💧Peggy Shepard – Co founder of WE ACT for Environmental Justice and a leading voice for clean air, water, and environmental equity in urban communities.
