Kelsey Juliana, a plaintiff on the Oregon state climate lawsuit and the
landmark federal climate lawsuit sat down with Bill Moyers to discuss
 her activism and why she's suing her government.

OLIVIA CHERNAIK, a minor and resident of Lane County, Oregon; et al
v.
KATE BROWN, Governor of the State of Oregon; and STATE OF OREGON 

​https://www.ourchildrenstrust.org

Plaintiffs Olivia and Lisa Chernaik and Kelsey and Cathy Juliana brought suit to uphold their rights, as beneficiaries under the public trust doctrine to the use of Oregon’s public resources. Those inalienable rights are threatened with irreversible harm as a result of climate change and ocean acidification, due to dangerous levels of greenhouse gas emissions, and the predicted adverse impacts on Oregon’s natural resources. Plaintiffs seek a declaration that certain natural resources, including waters of the state, wildlife, and the atmosphere, are public trust resources. Plaintiffs also seek a declaration that Governor Brown and the State of Oregon as trustees have failed to uphold the fiduciary obligations under the trust by failing to take action to achieve necessary reductions in emissions of greenhouse gasses within the State in order to prevent, and remedy the existing, substantial impairment of public trust resources.

    The Haiti Emergency Relief Fund (HERF) based in Oakland, California  places funds directly into the hands of the people in Haiti who need it most. This is Haitian-directed aid, an important distinction. HERF acts immediately to assist Haitians with the cholera epidemic, health care, education, human rights, women's organizing, local food production and more.
