um thank you all so much for being here uh we would like to first um acknowledge the original peoples of this particular land um the Coan people the Tonkawa the cranchi and lean aachi were were first known to habitate here so we bless them and we thank them um and let you know that we are here with all of these wonderful people to talk about the little Indian girl Collective it's a new storytelling Collective and they are making this documentary series Promises of our grandmothers about tusa's r
esistance group din our Collective led by indigenous women and two spirit front land Frontline land Defenders dedicating to protecting Mother Earth she needs it fighting for clean water and living in balance as they fight and bridges line three pipeline so are we starting with the clip or we're starting with okay we're going to start with the clip y'all so we're going to start there and then we'll have everyone introduce themselves the assets bridge plans the stories we usually hear are told by
a Chosen Few framing their narrow perspectives telling us how the world is they cast us a Spectators meant to sit by and watch it all burn but it's time for a new narrative one that highlights our voices and reminds us not only how the world has been but how it could be that's why we started little Indian girl storytelling Collective where women and Indigenous storytellers joining forces skills and resources to tell our stories on our terms stories from women who stand up and show us what reclai
ming our power really looks [Applause] like um I love that I love starting with a clip so exciting um I would love us to start with a brief sort of intro of all of our panelists if you don't mind bringing up that mic check 1112 and uh introducing yourselves to everyone here you say a few things about your it's it's such a polite group it's like okay here you go uh my name is ginger Shanker I am a musician filmmaker and Storyteller uh my name is Tara husa B you to all the relatives in the room uh
I'm a attorney land offender Sundancer and mday uh Justin Winters I am an activist a mother um and an ally for the planet and for all the people and I'm not here just as moderator I'm also an EP on the film and I came on board um through our friend Jeff Orlowski who is a great great documentarian um who did the social dilemma Chasing Ice chasing Coral um really good friend of mine as one of his producing partners and he was like yo um Ginger's working on this project and Sundance Institute is b
ehind it and I think it would be up your alley and then we spoke and you already know I Leave You gushing messages about how uplifted and you know just F like just filled um after discussions with you so I've been really excited to be on this journey with you um as you're making this film um so let's just let's talk about you know what led you to focus from going from Standing Rock to starting to focus on line three and for a lot of people they don't know about that you know like sort of the pip
eline initiative sort of disappeared in people's minds after we saw what everything went down with with a standing Rock which is really shameful so this is another tar Sand's oil pipeline that is coming from Canada um and it's called line three and um yeah can you please share what that's been like for you filming that on the ground yeah I mean I just want to say thank you to you as well it's been really uplifting and I think the first time we talked when Jeff connected us like you knew so much
about the pipeline fight and I was like oh I don't have to explain anything like we had this whole conversation I went to the patriarchy and I was like I love this woman already um and and then I mean it basically started because I met Tara at Standing Rock and Tara has been Frontline activism for a very long time and we just became really good friends there and she was telling us what was coming in line three years ago she was already talking about it she knew what was coming and so we had done
a project together and we did this IG live and she's like there's ducks here come check out ricing it's really nice so we go there and day day two the camp is rated like full police everything the camp is rided and it was like oh whoa like we need to document there's nobody here and you're seeing crazy State violence against women queer folks fem I mean and it was wild just seeing people trespass on Cops trespass on property and be that violent so kind of after day two we're like we just got to
document whatever the hell of this is because people need to know the story like there's women here protecting land and nobody's hearing what's going on so yeah we started stalking you basically right can we we still saw some ducks too we did see some ducks and chickens and amazing things Tara can you talk about what forming the resistant Camp was like and what that was to have that lack of media um and yeah I think you know one of the things I loved about Standing Rock and I got to meet the th
e runners who had really started the whole movement and it was a bunch of young people who came out to New York and we met them there and they were supported intergenerationally um back at home to say like we have to bring attention to this and that was their radical way of doing that just through running and it turned into this massive movement so what has that been like seeing the difference on line three and starting at Standing Rock and and joining and creating this resistance Camp it was a
lot of lessons learned and I would say it was lessons on both sides right so we learned lessons and unfortunately the state also learned a lot of lessons on how to coordinate and and oppress suppress every last bit of the resistance of we knew that um so come 2018 actually three years before they started construction of the actual pipeline we were building our camp we were building the space we were bringing people out to come and learn what it actually means to defend what it means to reconnect
what it means to love a place you know I mean that's I think when you're building resistance and you're building understanding that connectivity is so necessary and for me it was also a lesson of this space needs to be a space of bringing balance and to me that looks like fem and queer leadership that looks like those voices being heard you know and given space and Care um it looks like spending time with ducks and sometimes getting maed also but time yeah she's like looks at me I had to be you
r friend oh my God we're like in handcuffs right like that's been said many times to her before yes um yeah but it was beautiful it was a beautiful experience and one that we continue to carry can you continue with that I'm I'm curious like what what happens when women lead spaces like what does that look like what's what's that how that how does that transform Community resistance um and what what is important about women leading in those multitude of spaces um for me I always start with you kn
ow we talk about our three branches of government that came from native communities and Native governance of multiple different tribes coming together and you have these Europeans coming over and escaping from you know religious indoctrination and royalty and sort of lineage and coming here and we all kind of just give it to like oh wow and then they just created three branches of government and they just knew like no um they completely co-opted that from you know the native governance that they
came into contact with when they discovered America and um and particularly women were very high in leadership at that point which was quite dramatic experience for a lot of the women coming from Europe and seeing that difference but again obviously patriarchy because we always go with patriarchy um you know which just also goes so hand inand with white supremacy and capitalism and all of these other things that was taken out so what is that to kind of go back to that tradition of women L space
s and storytelling in this moment for you because nothing ever existed unless a white man wrote it down right like that's one of those things you're like really really you know actually we do have concepts of ecosystem concepts of checks and balances and women leadership fem leadership queer leadership right like those did exist that's what balance looks like um I think when you are centering a voice that is not one based in principles of dominion one that is based in principles of community inh
erently right of protection of Life of protection of water and that connectivity that we have you end up building a space that is one that is deeply steeped in care you know where yes you are facing incredible State violence and a machine that is so it feels like you're you know like the the David and Goliath comparison right like I heard that so much but it really is like even more so than that right like you are a band of 10 grubby kids out in the woods but somehow that little band of kids is
reaching the White House and kicking open the door to the investing community and the insurance community and the fossil fuel industry and all of that um it looks like building longevity and it looks like building in the long term thinking about what happens after right how do we build an actual movement and not just a campaign that's a one-off it has to be an ecosystem it has to be in balance and care so I just saw this real or Tik Tok or whatever and this young woman was going on about that wo
men aren't naturally submissive that is just not how we are we are in Cycles we are in our whole holistic experience of oursel every single month in connection to the moon and the water and Earth and men are like if you look at every structure that they've created of governance and Sport and religion it is all about follow this one leader and you know sort of the alpha male kind of hierarchy and kind of stuff and I just was like this is the dopest I've watched it so many times over this woman ju
st being like men are naturally submissive women are not and that's why like real men want a woman who is in all her full chaos and spectrum and you know and all this kind of stuff so I just love that you said dominion and you're talking about you know going back to that Collective of what what it is to have common leadership and like connection and you know I say in this era and time as we all have our cell phones and we're all media now we have such a great opportunity because we're all around
the fire again you know we were around that fire as Medicine Woman and Shaman and Warrior and child and intergenerationally and then we went into this pyramid structure of the the only important person at the top and everyone else at the bottom and now through through these portals that we open up every day we're around that fire again and we're able to be in community and it's already shaking up things in a way that you can see them really trying through social media and private this is privat
e and you have you know all these different mechanisms of control because it's getting out of hand you know and they're trying to figure out what's the algorithm that we can keep people in this triangle um and that's not that's just not going to there's something else that's happening and fomenting right now so Tara I want to bring that to you you know what is it about you know creating uh I mean Justin I I want I wanted to know can you talk about what your work has been like supporting women li
ke Tara and namon um on the ground and continuing to Foster and promote and Advance this other way of leading that is collective and not necessarily hierarchal um great question you know before I run a nonprofit that I founded called one Earth which is um has on a mission to empower everybody everywhere with the knowledge the inspiration and the opportunity to heal the Earth and reclaim our future prior to that um I had the privilege of leading and building Leonardo DiCaprio's foundation for 13
years we went on a wild Journey where we um I had the honor and the opportunity to get resources to many women-led indigenous-led community-led Grassroots efforts around the world and I say honor because the opportunity to scale resources to so many women who are leading championing fighting defending and also building Community Building Collective wi wisdom holding space in their places um was the honor of a lifetime because when you see that in action all of these incredible projects all aroun
d the world they're happening you may not see them they don't get the media coverage they don't get uplifted the and that's what this entire you know Indian girl Collective is about it is about showcasing the movement that already exists millions of organizations leaders and communities are driving the type of change that we need and they're doing it from the ground up based and connected to place and when you have access to that whether it's directly you know which is what I got to do a lot of
but also through media and through storytelling a different vision of the future starts to become apparent to you you feel like oh maybe this is possible I'm not alone there are millions of people already committed to this vision and we can get there and so that's you know that opportunity so meeting people like Tara in the past having met people like namon Nimo who is driving incredible change in the Amazon region and bridging together different different indigenous communities and putting up i
ncredible solid longlasting fights against the fossil fuel industry and Building Solutions in her community it's breathtaking what can occur so if anything just I hope that you leave today with a strong sense of what is possible things that seem like small scale Solutions are not they're incredibly powerful I always talk about how you know the one of the biggest myths that we live under is that we are naturally Waring that we are naturally violent that you know that that is just the way that we
are and I'm always like have you ever watched a baby be born like and how vulnerable they are we don't come out of the womb walking like a giraffe or an elephant like we literally are completely vulnerable for a solid five six years like of our lives and our full development and so it just shows you naturally who we are that we are compassionate and caring and loving and if that were not true we would have long since cease to exist because we are so vulnerable in our early stages and you know ho
w many times you go into a restaurant you're not worried about how violent everybody is because if you were you wouldn't sit in a restaurant with your back to all these people who just got given knives to eat like you know it's like no so we all know that deeply and inherently but still the story that we see in our news and that we're just bombarded with from every single angle because it is you know what it's titillating and it it is what it is click bitable and it is all these different things
you know and it keeps you it's fear-mongering it keeps us in the space and so we're constantly drawn to in these times of distress which are true I me I'm on the board of VA and know how real that is when there is a catastrophe Banks failing climate change pandemic whatever it is domestic violence shoots up like all of these different things that were very very true but also so does our Humanity show up you know I'm in Hurricane Sandy and I'm watching people go up to the top floors to their nei
ghbors who are elderly and can't come down to make sure they have medicine and they have food like and that's just not the stuff that's championed like the the solutions the people who are organizing at all times so I'm I'm curious as you're not only helping and supporting these organizations but what is that like for you Justin you know just about the rooms and places that you get to speak and amplify those voices and bring and carry those those stories from the front lines to these sterile pla
ces that are maybe only getting fed from these new sources that are propagating this other myth and that you're championing something different yeah I mean it's a really interesting experience you know to to kind of bridge between multiple different worlds and narratives that are happening simultaneously and the there's a predominant narrative that we were talking about earlier and wanting to really lift up um that in this moment of crisis of climate change and biodiversity loss and many other t
hings happening around the world that there is you know technology is going to save us um there are silver bullet Technologies like you know Carbon cap capture and storage that are going to save the day and and we don't need to worry about it because people are brilliant they have incredible technology we've got it handled and that kind of false narrative is exactly what got us into this situation and it is not the antidote um and there if you know there are an array of justice-based equity-base
d nature-based solutions that are the other the other side of the coin and when you envision so when I go into rooms and I have the opportunity to speak to people that are really thinking about it from a pure investment lens or think they're thinking about it from a pure technology lens what I go in there holding is is this an opportunity to crack that narrative and get people to understand that nature the planet is at the center of the solution and not not only is it the center of the solution
but it has the power to heal so many other things that are wrong with us right now and it is that direct disconnect from nature that we need to resolve um and so I try to carry that in service to Nature I'm in service to her I work for her um and so I try to carry her with me even when there's not a tree in sight or a bird in sight inside these spaces because there's a lot of people that I think once they connect to that can really feel much more empowered about the future we can build I've been
in these like crazy conversations with a friend of mine recently who's been studying human Supremacy and how we have been T we've taken over the land we've taken over the food taken over the resources we've taken over the people like it's all oppression it's all domination it's all subjugation you know it's not working in harmony it's looking at the difference between why young people don't know that you can that a lemon from a tree is lemon juice because we've just been so disconnected from fo
raging and just like being in nature and um so I I just I wonder like what that is for you to be starting to push back Ginger on that type of Storytelling that is that we've been robbed of you know like this idea of of oh you know we have to protect the land because of otherwise everyone is going to keep extracting from it and poisoning it and so we have to create these you know public spaces where we can protect it but we're going to leave it untouched because they didn't understand that native
peoples here who were stewarding the land were being active because it didn't look like the traditional farming that they had seen but they were doing you know controlled grazing and they were doing fire burning and they were doing these different things and working Within Harmony so it didn't look the way that they expected it to and then it didn't they couldn't just mimic it by just protecting those spaces like what was that when we as human beings were interacting as stewards of the space of
the animals and life in general and not just in Dominion like what has that been being part of that storytelling now I think it's been incredible because you and I have had a lot of conversations about the patriarchy and the narrative around it and something as simple as like reading Sanskrit texts right and then you look at the English translation and you're like who's Translating that folks that called us Savages are translating our text and telling us what they say so that's what I get to re
ad if I don't read my language so every single narrative when you start to connect dots you're like women are left out of Stories the the ideas you have to conquer you have to take over it's mine it's a very individual society and when we look back to any of our ancestors like we all lived in balance with Mother Earth like it's so male driven you're talking about wars you're talking talking about reality television it's skewed so this way that we all think that we have to keep up with it and and
the rebalance is femininity it's like rebalancing with what you do like when I went to Camp like day two we were there and Tara is sitting in a circle and talking to some young folks that had just come to camp and one young folk was talking about somebody else and kind of talking a little and the first thing she said is we don't do that here you're going to have a conversation we speak in compassion and empathy that's where we're coming from and just from that moment of how that whole circle ch
anged and when you look at someone like Tara and she's violent she's dangerous and you're like this Camp is growing a garden kids came from college to volunteer at this Camp they learned how to garden they learned how to put in ouses they learned how ducks live they learned how to walk in the forest like kids did not know how to walk in the forest at all at all and you're just like this access of all around even front line there's people on the other side giving you water taking care of you when
you're in jail people are singing to you making sure you have your favorite food when you come out the whole Community Care was like such a beautiful thing that I had not seen on front lines I've read about it in our stories but you see it in the forest and these magical women are creating these spaces and they exist and and you go why don't we see that why are we seeing these angry things and because if they spin that narrative then we're the violent ones then you can do state violence you can
do all these other things and manipulate a narrative when she's a badass woman trying to protect her mother earth and making sure they have wild rice and rivers and lakes and things that we all need to thrive on you're talking about the Mississippi River 18 million people drink from that she's violent so it was like it blew my mind and you start connecting the dots of all of our stories and every Revolution that's ever happened and we're all called the same thing so what is that you know I thin
k part of it is that we internalize that right like I think about how violent we are to ourselves and there was this really dope activation I got to be a part of at the border and um from Cali to Mexico and um I remember before we went and you know talked to everyone we did this ceremony and just sort of you know to all the four directions and there was this conversation that came out of it and talking about you know there's such a big difference between how in our American culture you know when
we are going through a hard time we isolate we pull back away we don't want to be burden onto anyone um and we step out of the circle until we feel strong enough to be able to step back into it and what a difference that is coming from more native indigenous Traditions worldwide where it's like no that's the moment you step into the circle and you allow yourself to be embraced and to be held and to understand that in that time of weakness you're not less of a person you don't have to always be
productive you don't always have to be generating you don't have to be excellent all the time in order to be valued and to be and to be loved you know it doesn't have to always be so transactional you know and in that space when you get strong enough from all of us feeding and pouring into you that's when you can come back and and and widen that Circle again um and what a big difference that is so you know I also want to be careful you know we're not trying to romanticize um you know indigenous
people and like that there's no patriarch or there's no violence or there's no war or any of those different things um so I'm I'm curious you know why did you want to start this Collective and what was and trying to bring more Harmony into all of these disjointed systemic different cultural kind of messaging that we've been getting across the board in all our communities um that has taken us away from our natural calling and cyclical sort of being like which Embraces that has chaos and has and v
iolence is a part of it you know and land and support and you know power and you know all of those different things like what has that been to so specifically start and create this Collective and have be around women's voices and two spirit people and like what has that been um yeah what has that been for you to to kind of step into that as your journey at this moment it's an interesting one it started with my family because my family um brought Indian music to the West in the 70s with George Ha
rrison and like I know that story through the men and I remember seeing my grandma's scrapbook she gave me the scrapbooks before she passed and she's like and I'm looking these scrapbooks I'm like what are you doing at the White House I told you we toured a little bit you know and I did this and then I was like wait what and then so start digging and digging and digging and start talking to relative started talking to people and this woman like wrote for the orchestra was conducting every night
for George Harrison was all over the world doing these things and it's like we don't see her name on anything and I saw her and my mom and all these record covers in the back without their names on these records and I was like huh this is an interesting narrative even in my own family we don't talk about who did what you know and I met folks that they went on tour with and they were like they were feeding us too they were making sure the kids were going to sleep because you know the musicians we
re running wild and just this whole narrative and I was like whoa so I went down that rabbit hole and then I met this one and at Standing Rock and I was like okay similar similar um re rewriting of stories and who she is and knowing this like big-hearted amazing woman and hearing the stuff that was coming out and it just felt like a natural progression of like we got to tell our stories and then just realizing how many women around us were doing this kind of work and not getting any like and the
thing about publicity it's not to become famous it's for safety if you don't have media in spaces it is not safe for women because women disappear in spaces things happen and we never hear the stories so it it it felt like a safety mechanism and to see what she was already doing at Standing Rock seeing what she was starting to to do with g new Collective it felt really important and that translated to a lot of stuff in India too where like a lot of activists are going missing now so it just sta
rted feeling like okay there's so many women who are doing this work like how do we uplift how do we support each other so we have folks that were on one film that go and shoot on another and just we all work together and it's you know this like when we're in a room of women it's amazing it's amazing you don't have to explain yourself we may say sorry a lot which we're trying to work on but there's so there is no trialing do I know there is yeah yeah but it's joy and it's laughter it's so exciti
ng it's it's nourishing it's like every time you and I have a conversation I feel so excited because we fill each other up with something it's not just the world sucks it's like we go out and we go dancing and we're singing karaoke in the middle of the night talking about how the world needs to change and that's important too so like the circle of women like you said that was like a very profound thing of like the more we're together Solutions appear because we're all doing different things and
we all listen to each other sure what did you say also also the the more witchy we get cuz our Cycles like line up and everybody gets all freaked out like what is this witchcraft it's a new mood what is this insanity and we're all Moody at the same time it's amazing um so again like I don't want to get too Kumbaya and I want to even take it back from what I was talking about before because I thought that was an interesting video of that woman talking about like just domination and whatever in th
e male structure and whatever and I think again like patriarchy like really hurts men um and our development and I think one of the greatest things I got to do was I got to accept an award for V formerly Eve enler by this group uh men stopping rape in DC like 10 years ago or something actually now and um the speech that she gave me to read for her on her benefit she was talking about how that bullets are the hardened tears of men that they couldn't shed as boys and um right I mean it stays with
me it's really really intense so um that was an ADHD moment I just wanted to share that I just thought of that from what you were saying but I actually I want to go back to the importance of media and resistance Tara and like what that's been for you to wield that particular weapon um in the face of collective healing and support and protection versus a lot of what we see the media wielded now which is very pick aside and Division and for me it makes me really sad I'm like oh you guys are really
being so forceful and violent with your empathy and you're picking a side and you're really decrying Humanity but you're doing it again by picking a side and I think we're seeing that quite a lot right now and I'm like oh you're so close finish the thought because if it's not inclusive like what does that mean when we're saying relative and brother and when does that stop by just going into oppressor and victim like at what where is that line drawn and how do you we all come from Africa except
colonizer and it's like what does that really mean to kind of challenge those viewpoints and those perspectives and especially doing it from the women's perspective um what has that what has that been for you using media as resistance one thing that has been touched on a little bit here is I think the tendency at least from the outside is to get really excited and get really interested when there's violence State violence when it's us on one side and the cops are kicking the crap out of us on th
e other private security or whatever it is right those are the moments when people are like oh my gosh I have to go to Standing Rock I don't even know where it is but when I'm going to go there right like that's that's what this Society has pushed so much is like that moment of tension and drama and like all that and that turn leads to I'm a you know painted as a violent insurrectionist right and I'm like from a town of like 200 people and grew up in the woods used to play Kick the Can and they'
re like bears and stuff you know like that's I never thought I would be a violent insurrectionist that's very interesting um but when we get to control our narrative you know and tell our own stories which is when she showed up I mean that's we were holding our phones up right on Facebook live Zucker Bird's platform this is so secure of course right um you know but trying our hardest to tell the story which is a story of we are not taking these acts to be violent badasses we are taking these act
s because we love the Earth as our relative we are trying to stop active violence on our relative that's what we're doing we're putting our bodies in between your harm and the harm you know what I mean like it's literally that that's occurring and I think when you get to tell that story it helps so many people to understand like why you're there what you're there for that when you do choose to step out of your privilege and you do choose to hear that call and find your way to however you can sup
port that it's not to be badass it's I mean it is badass but it's not to it's not that's not the intention the intention is I want to figure out how to reconnect I want to fulfill my heart I want to fill my heart up I'm missing something capitalism isn't feeding my heart violence isn't feeding my heart you know what I mean it's just like an endless Scroll of pain and suffering and I want to feel fulfilled and everything has been so disconnected that I don't even know that lemonade comes from lem
ons right like I don't understand that I know I remember one of the days I was walking into a farm and there's this brand new intern standing there and they were the dog had just gotten into the chickens and there's all these dead chickens everywhere right and there's one chicken that had like I'd say a 5050 50 shot and I hand this chicken off to this intern who then is like shaking and holding this animal right and is crying I'm like are you all right and they're like I just I don't know I've n
ever seen this before and I was like do you eat chicken they're like yeah I was like are you GNA eat chicken again no and I was like well something had to die for you to eat that you understand that right and like to actually take a life is incredibly sad and it's and it hurts you know like that's our empathy that's our understanding of life like those are the stories and the ways that we get people to not only show up for the line three fight the Dakota access fight the Mountain Valley pipeline
fight we get people to change their whole life approach right that they're walking away feeling like I have a relative that I didn't even realize was here with me all the time even in the boardrooms right like when I step into those spaces I always remind them like so we're in a room that's made of manipulated Stone and those windows are sand and your outfit is made out of fibers of the earth the earth is with us all over right now and then like sometimes you see like the guy like in the three-
piece suit looking around and I'm like yeah I know that you're telling me that you that I just don't understand the way the world Works sir but I'm here reminding you that you drink water like you have become that disconnected that I'm here telling you that and I've spent most of my adult life doing that to folks just like you you know but also also trying to with storytelling inspire people to show up and to walk away and build on their own you know I mean that's that's what we're trying to do
Justin can you um explain to us how one Earth and little Indian girl Collective uplift Each Other Well we were just talking about this backstage because we were like wait how do we do that how are we going to express that the truth is we're just at the beginning of our journey and I think that the first I mean Ginger you can answer this too but I think that the first step was meeting each other spending time with each other giving each other space listening um and thinking about how much more ch
ange we could drive together and so kind of the skies the limit you know one one idea that we have is because one Earth really specializes in digital media storytelling and short form storytelling across multiple platforms and she's working much more on long form storytelling you know what can we do together with the strengths that we have and the strengths that she has um to reach more and more people um if you draw them in with you know a quick one minute sound bite and that brings them into t
o um understanding the deeper story of of what you're building um that is extraordinarily valuable so I mean we need everybody right now so I think there's the only way that we do that is by working you know smartly together as a collective so and also when I met her I fell in love with her she was she's so amazing and she's very humble but she ran Leo's foundation for 13 years and her whole mission in life is to give indigenous women money on the ground and it's like what a crazy concept give t
he women doing the work money what like it's a foreign concept and when I heard that I was like oh we need to hang out like we have to hang out and just and so partly what was really exciting is all the folks we're working with it's like it feels very cohesive it's like you're making films she can connect them to folks with resources and it's like it's resourcing from the ground up and you have to Resource women you have to you can't be in boardrooms and resource all these people to talk about w
hat women need on the ground it doesn't work because the money doesn't get there it never gets there so that's also really exciting to me that she is fully doing that stuff and duh right well just to build on that a little bit less than 2% of all philanthropic Capital go to climate and environment and a fraction of that actually reaches indigenous Le women Le work um and when you consider the magnitude of the solutions that they hold it's not only is it outrageous and wrong but it's just plain s
tupid yeah like we could be driving change on such a radical scale if we got resources in the hands of the folks who know what their communities need right and they need to be building and they need to be resourced yeah our whole philanthropic system is completely broken and the gatekeeping of those resources from the people who need it and the onus that is put on the folks who are doing that work to jump through all of these hoops in order to get said monies that they're all fighting each other
for rather than working in community for um is is has always been really striking to me can you talk a little bit about your work at one Earth to counter climate anxiety and the solutions that are being worked on since we're being more solution sure um so interesting fact to know I think there was a study that came out over the past year that 70% of our youth today know that climate change is an issue um but they fervently believe that there's absolutely nothing that they can do about it and it
is a direct corollary to increases in in anxiety mental health um which makes a ton of sense like if the biggest most existential issue you are facing you're certain there's nothing you can do about it that is the most disempowered space to sit in it's completely rot with fear um so anyway at one Earth and having been part of the movement for a really long time and kind of been working with it both globally and then much more locally in different regions um the reason that we ended up building
and founding one Earth was because we saw this hyperfocus on a doom Gloom narrative and we saw the antidote in action and wanted to lift that up and wanted to invite people into a vision of the world that we and many others believe is possible um a vibrant just future and so one part of our work um which really was the sweater that we unravel for years and we're still on it um and I think they're going to share the slide um in a minute or you can go ahead and put it up now um so we have a major
science initiative um at one Earth that started in 2016 about and so we were really on a mission our question was can we solve the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss what is you know what's the goal line how do we get there and can we actually get there in a way that values nature and so um at the time I was working for Leo's foundation and we had the privilege of picking up the phone and calling everybody and asking questions and they would answer our questions um and it turned
out that there had never been a global climate model built that proved that it was possible to reach 1.5 degre C and to do it with existing solution Solutions um a lot of the prior climate models relied on false Solutions like climate you know Carbon capture and storage um and many other even much more nefarious problematic ones that I won't go into right now um so what you're seeing right here just a speed up it's been a long hairy Journey with a collection of leading scientists institutions e
xperts on the ground knowledge holders um so we ended up building the one Earth climate model with two leading IP IPC CC authors and scientists um and what came out of that climate model is that yes we can do this we can attain 1.5 degre C and we can do it with existing Solutions um as we unraveled that there's if you walked away from here today with Clarity on what you can do there's three core things that we need to do to solve the climate crisis we need a just transition to 100% renewable ene
rgy we need to protect connect and restore 50% of the world's lands and oceans and a huge piece of of that is through indigenous land tenure um and then the third pillar is Shifting our food and fiber systems to regenerative agriculture so you can see this on our website it's under one earth.org Solutions um it is you know we are committed to making all of this accessible to everybody what is unique about this solutions framework is that it is Equitable it puts nature at the heart and center of
solving this um and as you work through it and you know anybody who checks it out the top portion organized by those three pillars is the 75 specific solutions that we need to invest in support and scale and there are you know one of the big Solutions is indigenous land tenure there are things like small holder farming um seed diversity there's a whole array of really powerful beautiful Rich solutions that are not normally held up as Solutions Pathways so science is a big part of our work um we
also you know translate that science into knowledge that is actionable um we do digital storytelling around both the solutions and the people who are leading the solutions on the ground and give people the opportunity to connect with those change makers on the ground which you can explore on our website um and I know that the next question is kind of going over to Tara and explaining what some of those Solutions look like in action yeah I I'll I'll say I I had to jump in because I'm like I'm tal
king too much I need to make sure we get through all these questions um and but I will say Common Ground film uh that I'm also has the have the honor of being an EP on is going to be screening on Wednesday and that is a documentary about regenerative farming and um talk about a solution that is ancient um that would be capturing carbon in our soil what a concept and uh it shows very clearly how we've seen that reverse desertification um and its particular um focus as a film is to impact the farm
bill because we understand we can't recycle our way out of the problem and though everyone can grow a garden we really need to be making sure that we're not subsidizing the problem um and so there's a really beautiful quote uh by Tony Gade bombara my job is to make Revolution irresistable um which we're hoping to do with that film or we hoping to do with this film um and uh you know we see women in films consistently root for the resistance you know uh Star Wars just pulling that out of nowhere
um no reason um Hunger Games The Matrix you know but in real life why don't we immediately side with the resistance you know imagine if we highlighted these women in the resistance as Heroes now Tara yes you are portrayed very differently from that um as a Frontline worker and again we invite everyone to participate in the way that they can I loved that in Standing Rock when they were talking about the keyboard Warriors and all of that stuff that we all have a place we need all hands on deck in
whichever way that we're capable of showing up but you are really literally physically on the front line and as opposed to some people within the climate change movement um who get like put up as the darling because again we always have to focus on the one person and it not being the collective that's there you know when you are portrayed in that me media you know you are made as violent insurrectionist as you mentioned earlier dangerous angry all of these different things when you're actually
showing up with l empathy so what what how is that about how you're portrayed and how does that affect you and how do you push back on that narrative not even that mean I mean that mean smile all the time I mean you know sometimes if you're tear gassing my friend I might get pretty pissed off but you you could smile more you know yeah exactly you should smile more just a little bit a little bit no let's have a conversation yeah um never heard that one yeah never never never uh you know I I mean
I think ways that we are pushing back so hard on that is by telling our own stories is by doing the kind of work that Ginger is doing is by doing the digital storytelling that you would reference Justin I mean it's also through action right like I think the next slide is like a what this looks like in the longevity right like I was talking speaking to longevity um you know in these fights that we're engaging in against fossil fuel Empire ESS you know against endless extraction and greed against
a social fabric that is so so so deeply traumatized um you know you you are fighting such a such a tough fight but you are building and thinking about how do we build Warriors that will be here with us standing by us for the long haul that looks like land back that looks like the reference to indigenous wisdom and knowledge systems and relationship and stewardship of land 80% of what's left of Earth's biodiversity is in indigenous hands that's for a reason right it looks like land back how do we
actually codify those rights you know rather than trying to do some bullet solution right of oh well we'll just technology our way out of this problem no that's what got us here right we didn't do the really difficult hard work of what does it actually mean to be a human being in the web of life and not sitting on top of it right what does it mean to build a space like this one um this last year I was blessed to secure this this space for our long-term building of of Warriors um our healing of
Warriors it was a moment that I never expected to happen but it was one that you know I mean that is building care you know and and the long hul um it looked like trying to show those narratives you know and uplifting that story yes sometimes we're climbing fences you know like that is happening and if I were in a different place in the world it looks like land offenders being killed constantly all over the globe it looks like human rights Defenders being killed jailed imprisoned oppressed but i
t also looks like us building care with each other and still trying to hold each other so deeply and also inviting everyone in right we're in a moment I think of seeing the rise of fascism around the world we're seeing the rise of violence and feeling powerless but I think we're also seeing so many people feeling inspired to do something without necessarily knowing what that something is but trying to find our way through like just because this something this one day didn't work doesn't mean we
don't keep showing up and building for the long term like landback I you know yes [Applause] I'm always wary of a solution that mirrors capitalism where it's just like no you just have to you know support my one private company where I individually will have the one thing that you can purchase for this select price that will reverse this thing that my predecessor created um that funded this program and you know and you're like wait what um and you know I I wonder um you know I I've got uh anothe
r panel I'll be doing um I'll just be introducing tomorrow um for a short film that I'm an EP on called kiss my grass and it's about black women in cannabis and showing you know when a time a story uh you know an issue has met its moment and suddenly there's funding and all of these things for it it still goes to a select few and the folks who have been there you know championing it for so long and being at the front lines and punished for it you know as you know recognizing the medicine that is
in the cannabis plant um you know people still incarcerated for it still people being penalized from being able to get jobs or housing or all of these different things because of previous you know um being stuck in our in our you know uh new slavery our our policing system you know it's like we're we're keep getting robbed of these resources and this ability to kind of understand our place in it and how we can we can be part of a solution that it is more Collective and appreciative so um I I wo
nder what you know that that expression of you know the destructive narrative um and the individual narrative and this the business capitalistic Narrative of solution versus the empathic narrative that is inviting and inclusive and sharing and again I'll go back back to the reality of that I'm I'm seeing so much online right now which is you know the oldest Playbook ever which is divide and conquer and people who I love and I know who are championing that you know because they're picking a side
and they're going this is the only way forward and you know drawing a Line in the Sand and I I think that those things are really important but what is that indifference you know of a sort of more destructive narrative that questions someone else's rights and you know says selectively you can only Garner but this much sympathy this much funding this much resource this much support versus over here um what does that look like kind of pushing more that empathic narrative you know if you haven't be
cause if you haven't been shown something how would you know about it you know and I think there's that thing of like who has the authority to say this stuff and you're like well we know it deeply inherently we know when it resonates we know when it speaks to us so you know we know that whoever wins gets to write the story um we're seeing it in Haiti right now like the New York Times just put out an article like w I don't understand you know the violence that's Uprising in Haiti and you're like
oh so me me the first colony that ever pushed back against slavery and then has since been punished for it because France has to be given back its money for what it lost in its slave wages that is like so it's so you're leaving out a m major part of the story that would maybe explain what's happening on the ground there um wow what a teachable moment you just skipped over um so you know this is why we need more stories and you know what the importance of uplifting these real life stories of resi
stance is and you know how do Queens how do we flip this narrative I know I'm I'm I'm want to throw that back to you Ginger because you know we talk about this at nazim and it makes me so happy it makes me so happy too um I think it's on a lot of levels I think the reason this Collective felt really important is it's not you see things now we like okay we have to be woman focused we have Dei programs we have to be indigenous focused and you're like who who's making it who's making it and then I
hear I hear my friends who make films and it's like trauma porn trauma porn trauma porn oh you're from this place I want to hear about the trauma porn I want to hear about rapes I want to hear about murders I want to hear about like just you're like Miss indigenous women war on nature yes it's so exhausting it's like the retraumatization of all this stuff and you go when we're filming our own stuff we're uplifting something different like I remember being in Minnesota and the uprising had just h
appened and all the news we're seeing from outside of it and just violent violent violent and you go and you talk to folks and it's like folks are feeding each other out there people are cleaning up they're taking care of each other folks are showing up when cops are showing up to protect each other we don't see any of it same thing with Standing Rock violence violence violence and you're like folks are in prayer folks are singing they're taking care of their children they're making sure you're
not destroying this Earth what are we seeing and I think that comes down to even like behind lens in front of the lens and I'm I'm going to give a funny example because I'm obsessed with the show and I think everyone needs to watch it Queens which is narrated by Angela Basset it's a na Geo show yes and it's it's the animal kingdom told through the voices of women and we were talking about this last night and I'm like I grew up thinking that males had this Harum and we were replaceable and all th
is stuff and you're like monkeys elephants lionesses they are together for Generations generations of women they take care of everything elephants they take care of everything they feed everyone it's a full Care Community these boys are going around and being changed up pretty often there's not one king of the castle and you're going how did we get sold that narrative all these kingdoms are women L they're women L they're based in care they feed each other the grandmas are taking care of the bab
ies and you're like oh that's how I grew up that's how you grew up what happened so I I had to look the show up and I'm like made by women narrated by a woman whole different thing of something I'd never seen and it blew my mind and I was like every level of this exists of if you have female Shooters they're going to go Gad that moment they're not going to go to the violence they're going to go oh my God look at the care that's happening here and we need to see all of that to understand what's h
appening yeah I see a lot I saw this [Applause] yeah I saw this thing online of just like stop calling at World building when they're creating all of this you know um sci-fi stuff that is just scouring the traumas of our past and slavery and indoctrination and all of these kinds of things and then just making them Orcs um because that's not like it's not World building it's literally repetitive of exactly the world that we see and like to actually imagine something different you know would actua
lly be something really powerful um but can you talk about like the corrosiveness that kind of comes and destroys like these different outside actors that can come and destroy because what was so beautiful about Standing Rock also transformed and there was a lot of infighting and you know the the pressure to have a leadership and pressure to you know sort of follow a leader and what that looked like and the breakdown of it and what lessons were taken from that as you're now building a new Collec
tive and focusing on line three oh infighting is tough It's so tough I mean you know when you're dancing by the fire naked in the Moonlight sometimes you get inight right like that happens it does happen it's not all it's not all like just this beautiful beautiful romanticization I mean I think like there [Music] are really important pieces of building Community as we are building and and restoring our relationship with nature and building Community what does that actually mean right like there
are going to be fights about who has to do the dishes there are going to be fights about who has to haul water there are going to be fights about all kinds of things there's going to be the kid who accidentally dug the hole Too Deep and got stuck inside and it's like is somebody going to help pull me out that actually happened and he sat there for like an hour quietly he was like it was actually kind of nice down there like oh my God oh my God kid um but in your community that means really sitti
ng down and giving the thought and time and mind power and heart work to what does Restort of Justice look like what is conflict look like how do we get through these things together how do we grow together how do we find the best parts of everyone that we can that everyone has something to contribute where can they find their best place you know it's not about who is in charge right which is like where our mind is so conditioned to go right it's it's always somebody has to be in charge it's lik
e no in traditional models at least as I know them people that are good at that do that but that doesn't mean that they're any more important than anybody else right like they're going to if I was acting out of line my like aunties and grandmas would like be like are you serious and I might get smacked upside the head and like sat down and like had a whole thing happen you know and you're okay this is happening it doesn't matter like if you've done this or that or who you've talked to and who yo
u've been with it's no you have to actually all sit together in community and figure out what are your strengths what are your weaknesses how do we grow together how do we be together infighting is tough but it also means like we don't give up on each other either right we don't ever give up on each other I love [Applause] that I'm so moved when I'm in spaces that are intergenerational and allow for that wisdom and allow also for that Vigor and and sort of push back you know um I was you know yo
u know when you talk about like you know women we fought for representation and now a next generation's going I don't want that representation if I don't see it actually on your board and whatever you know so we kind of keep passing that Paton and like pushing you know against a lot of these things and I think one of the ways that we're able to do that is when we st stop escaping putting everything into the same box you know I've I've had to do a lot of work of going okay this wonderful thing ha
ppened but then this terrible thing happened and now I associate those two things together and it's like no um you have all both of those things are true and we got to allow you know for that problem and that solution to exist separately and be in try to figure out the harmony between the two of them and like what does that look like um so can you um I want to ask you a question for no I okay just one just one well I think for me I'm like so excited I'm so excited to yes and sorry I'm supposed t
o say yes and no I'm just like sitting up here promp it's fine it's all good but three women who are doing like we're all doing different work we're all doing different work but it's the same thing like so I'm curious for you like you always choose these badass women to play and like you're talking about representation on screen wom that's not I mean it's a big deal like growing up for all of us to see you on screen it's huge just like she's doing like we're all doing work I just became a glom m
y grandson is a month and a week old and one of the things that I've been reflecting a lot on lately is like you know the only other birth that I've seen was my godson who's going to be 20 in two months and he's going through it in school and his mental health and talk about like climate change all of these different things that are just like with AI also the Spectre of it like what does it even mean to have a career and like some sort of understanding of the future and you know the joury I thin
k the journey is the destination but for a lot of people the destination is the destination and it looks so shaky that ground and all of that and um you know I was just like I've been just really kind of hitting this wall of like really understanding like life is really boring it just is you know we try to get some sleep we wake up take a piss eat some food digest it grumbly stomach put some work in make some love make some enemies like whatever it is and then we go back to sleep again some days
have more adrenaline than others some people some days have more resources than others some days have more abundance than others you know but it's it's really like I see ourselves we're so in stress and duress and we're so bombarded on on every single front from you know our resources being threatened and our food being poisoned and just like Stress and Anxiety and performance and all of these things and don't be lazy and you have to be productive and you know and then I just watch like my frie
nds and my family like you know just the drama like I get paid to be that dramatic y'all are just doing that for free that's wild but I've also done it you know and I've I've gotten lost in it and and I'm just noticing more and more and more like you know it's not about taking a deep breath it's not about Waiting to Exhale it's not about holding my breath it's about having a breathing practice and really riding all of those waves and allowing it and I I just had this really dope experience um in
a Darkness Retreat where I was just in complete darkness for 3 Days eating sleeping drinking everything in the dark and just taking your time and I realized like you know if I really take a good sleep and I take a enjoy my bath and I enjoy my food and I don't like multitask and I really just take the time there's like little time in the day to work there really just isn't and I notice I don't do any of those things because I take a quick shower I eat on the run I skip the exercise I skip the me
ditation you know I rush through everything so that I can am in more work and then I'm under duress and I'm under stress and I just that that cycle just kind of keeps perpetuating and you're you're rewarded for that like you know if you're a workaholic that means you are a good person and if you're not then you're lazy and you know you're a drain on society and um you know you're just not trying hard enough and that was the cycle of my mom my grandmother so many other people in and I just feel s
o grateful that I even have the time to pause and consider and I just think about like so many different fronts that we're working on like people who are protecting dark areas in the planet to make sure that we can still have phal Plankton and bioluminescence and protecting the mangroves and the symbiotic relationship that exists between them and you know these spaces where we can see the Milky Way like show of hands people have seen the Milky Way with their n naked eye it's the most profound th
ing isn't it like it brings tears to my just to think about it like the awe and the beauty that we are surrounded in and we are just so taken from that that's taken from us that is violence this experience of just wow I am so small and yet I am so significant because I can appreciate this and I can share this and think about it and be moved by it and inspired and not challenged by it and that oh I I don't I can't make something as beautiful but like wow that I can be so moved by this that can Ch
annel it into something else and the only way that I can in this particular moment and so I just I'm like I've just been grappling when thinking about so many of these different things in this world and my grandson's growing up into and feeling that need to be on that front line and fight all the time but also knowing I just also need to just be with him and like look into his eyes and notice when he smiles for the first time and like does these different things and like do I have the time to do
that cuz I'm always working and my mom my daughter wants to have five children she doesn't have a job so I can't retire what five I'll talk about it later um but like just what that Balan is and like you know and just taking those moments of rest and diligence and just all of that different stuff and being able to lean on each other and like lean on nature and Stillness and and lean on the magnitude of what Humanity has been able to create it's so powerful we've done so much you know and like t
here's such beauty in us and what we can create when we work with each other and Inspire each other and so it's like I don't know I'm just I'm enjoying getting older you know glamma at 44 and um and just wanting to share that with people like just being in the quiet and just asking and inviting people CU we all have our stories of the traumas we've gone through like we've been in the trenches like this life is brutal and as long as we still have lions and tigers and bears it's like yo watch your
back cuz that is crazy out here and we are not guaranteed just because we have social media and like in dead you know Doom scroll all day and nflix and chill that you know that we're designed to have a comfortable life like and that comfort's actually killing us because we're sitting down too much and we're not being active and you know stagnancy we are water so stagnancy breeds disease and we are getting too stagnant and we need to be active and we need to be but it doesn't always mean being p
roductive and you know it's just like again finding that seesaw and that balance and that's what I just keep finding I feel so grateful in the work that I've gotten to do with you know V Latino an organization I created for voting 20 years old and also I'm like how the are we supposed to talk about the election now like I'm just things that I've been doing for a long time I'm like I don't know how to do that anymore like I'm just I'm really I'm reconfiguring on so many different levels and I jus
t appreciate these opportuni because we were cut off from each other you know we'd had this lockdown and it was you could see what the isolation has done for people's mental health my God since mental health like it's beautiful to have watched him be pushed out of my friend's vagina and now have existential conversations with him and you know again he's so stressed out about everything that's coming but at the same time he's also like you know he knows the the access that he has and the things t
hat he can create and you know just sort of champing that he doesn't have to do it all and I don't know I just I I feel like we collectively all just got a really important lesson that we're kind of ignoring which is that we can pivot on a dime yeah that the way that things have always been don't always have to be and we just saw that dramatically alt together but we're not talking about it and now that we're being invited to these spaces it moves me so much to see the folks who are here to just
listen and hear and connect and so I invite anyone else I mean I think you know we've talked about how each of us embodies Revolution on a bigger scale um but I'm curious how do you feel if there's anyone who wants to share how you feel like you embody revolution in your daily practice how you embody radical being radical cuz sometimes being radical is just resting you know and I think think about when I when I think about patriarchy cuz we're going to talk about it the one thing I always see l
ike no matter what platform and women are asked like oh what would you do in a day without men it was just like I would walk around with my headphones on and a mini skirt and fall asleep under the stars and a tree you know like it's just about danger you know it's like people are like oh we need men to protect women I'm like from whom finish it finish the come on you're almost there we're so close we're so close you know and again but it's like again lions and tigers are bear out there like that
is that reality and you know we have to like kind of take it but I'm a trecky like I believe there's a point where we're all going to be earthlings and we're going to stop like fighting each other and we're going to get like that idea of relative that we've been told from our indigenous Community for so long in a deeper level and they're talking about aliens are real y'all they're talking about aliens are real everyone's like yeah I'll take you to our leaders like people are joking about it and
I'm like I get it cuz they're still telling you you have to pay taxes even though there's aliens and that's crazy but like we also know that things can change so like what are we going to do like what does that look like and how does that so if there's anyone who wants to share maybe how you're doing that in your own life personally maybe also how you're doing it in your community because I think if we just focus on where we are that's where we make the transformation hi um I'm Vanessa mby um I
'm a food anthropologist I'm from Kenya and I'm am an expatriate and the way in which I choose to be radically resistant is through food um food is always a I think is a revolution in how we identify and how we stay rooted in our indigeny in our um culture and um by being able to love on my community Through food through breaking bread together um by being our ancestors dreams within the food system where we can Harmon we can be in harm harmony with the land that once exploited us um being in a
possession of land sovereignty when often times land is taken away from us and so um food is my Revolution on the [Applause] plate we got to wrap it up oh we done don't I talk too much I thought we had more minutes oh here one more one more raise your hand over here hi everyone my name is j Khan and a native New Yorker so how I tell my story or through radical conversations is really talking about my identity I'm a first generation well my parents are from bangadesh but talking about what it mea
ns to be bangadeshi to mean what it means to be Muslim American and having those everyday conversations because when we're in a collective group as a women we share so much that you don't see that in media so that's why I really appreciate these spaces because if we do take away men or you know those who are in who danger us we are fundamentally kind and compassionate and really telling that story so it's really storytelling that I do that and I do that through my work and my everyday life and j
ust try to take in these moments because it's all [Applause] short what you want to say something real quick real quick please just for anybody who wants to share a story my name is Mara McAn I'm the founder of zive Media zhi V media zive media we uplift many stories we have a creator Studio 40 uh very diverse group of young creators so if you want your story heard I'm happy to share it and uplift it with our big audience awesome that's actually perfect little segue I want to say you know to ple
ase follow these women um you can sign up for the newsletter at little Indian girl.org for updates on the film and how to support the work of these revolutionary women in resistance and again there's like storytelling there's this woman I think rysa Nissa who's been like who the did I marry it's like this crazy thing that's been going on super I'm so I haven't finished it but it's like oh my God and one thing someone made a comment about it like the the the creation of what gossip was and gossip
was like we used to all come together and people kind of communicate and it became something specifically that women would do with each other to kind of say this is how my marriage is going this is how my child raring is going this is how it is to live in this community and it became this one only space really where women could kind of come together and share knowledge among each other and their wisdom with each other and it became dangerous so what used to be gossip sort of just being about Co
llective community and communication suddenly became this thing that was an issue because it was only women doing it and that needed to be disbanded because it could be really dangerous because obviously then women were like oh that guy you don't have to stay with him like leave move change your job like you don't have to stay with this like there's other ways to human there's so there's billions of us there's so many people human in all different kinds of ways um and so I just like you know I l
ove that like the boin the gossip like that idea obviously doing it from an empathetic place not doing it from this place of shutting people down and all of these different things but just sharing each other and being vulnerable with each other and that's something I've been working on with my therapist is like I can be vulnerable but I'm not always intimate and there is a really big difference in that and taking that time and being intimate with yourself and intimate with the people around you
so I just thank you for allowing us to be vulnerable and communicating with you for the folks who were able to share um and just really invite you in that you know being being more vulnerable being more intimate that being radical and very powerful it is very courageous to love and to connect with people we make that seem small but it is the greatest thing that we can possibly do so I just want to say I love you so much I love you too and I'm so grateful that you asked me to be a part of this we
've been talking about it for the past few months and this has been super awesome and I'm sorry if I talk too much I can say I'm sorry but I love you and I love you too all of you anything else you want to say I know we're overtaking our space but you know while people get up and walk out we can still keep talking I am going to say one thing which is like we are living in a time of so much anxiety and everyone can do something like something something something something we can all and we're so
bombarded by Doom scrolling like you can get involved in your neighborhood you can look up gnu Collective you can volunteer somewhere you can start a garden like you can start anywhere we can't go with the Hopeless narrative we just can't anymore and I see a whole room full of a lot of amazing people people who are sitting here so do one thing today that's it just do one thing and move it forward keep that Faith get outside more like truly get outside more I totally was going to say the same thi
ng yeah put down your phones like just literally put it away and be present be present in nature and show up and listen hold space for somebody and that is an act of resistance for sure indeed awesome thank you so much everybody this was so cool [Music]
