I did something today… 📽📡💻 And filmed eight hours straight for something which matters *that* much to me. All of the fixings for a high-tech home studio were delivered to my door and work perfectly, so long as three people are on Zoom monitoring the audio levels, video framing, light fill, and script edits! I didn’t think I’d follow through, especially after complications from Tuesday’s procedures, but the ask was too important, the honor tremendous, and these times call

PSA: It’s okay to stop and smell the flowers. 🌼Who the heck knows what this week will bring, but Mother Nature, science and my friends are three things that have my unwavering trust. 🙏🏾 Just like today, I’ll be taking it on with my feet firmly rooted in the soil and head in the scorching sun on our farms all across this island, doing the work that needs to be done to drive us all forward in inclusive, just, sustainable, peaceful ways — alongside inspiring souls like this f

I am an environmentalist because of the place in which I was raised: Marin County, the Bay Area, Northern California. I was so proud to speak at our People's Climate March rally before a massive, active, energized crowd - a powerful, mobilizing cry for which I hope to have photos and a video soon. What an honor to march in my hometown arm in arm with the giants upon whose shoulders I stand, the activists who hardwired grassroots organizing into my DNA, the powerhouse environm

Civic engagement. Policy change. Public service. Grassroots advocacy. Representative government. Stakeholder engagement. What a privilege to speak to the brilliant, active leaders of the @QueensCountyYoungDems!

We, the people. We, the people, are powerful. We, the people, are capable. We, the people, are called upon. A true privilege to speak before students at @TheOhioStateUniversity during Time for Change week, especially at such a wild, fragile moment in the national and global landscape. "Your talk was everything I needed to hear. Things are coming together." Yes!!!!!! If I can be that catalyst, I'm humbled to say that I'm on the right path. Make connections. Open your eyes. Edu

How do we impact behavior for a sustainable society? I took on behavior change in my keynote at @Columbia's annual Earth Institute/SUMASA symposium - a critical, complex topic that encompasses individual and collective lifestyle choices, consumer habits, corporate social responsibility, policy change, all facets of personal and professional life. We need grassroots action, visionary #leadership, industry accountability, widespread advocacy, and effective governance simultaneo

We're off on the #ConsciousCollege Road Tour once again, boots on the ground with students nationwide! "Today was super cool. I feel like I learned a lot. About not just what's bad, but what I CAN do. I don't have to stop, just do things differently." Yes!!!! Each year, our @turninggreenorg team crisscrosses the country to transition the next generation from conventional to conscious - with ample information and the very best in eco, #ethical, organic, #recycled, upcycled, #z

How do you define intersectionality? 💭 I love hearing what people have to say about movements and values, missions and organizing, justice and impact. Women, men, black, white, brown, Asian, Latino, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, LGBTQ, urban, rural… my talk brought out a fascinating cross section of a generation for rich, diverse, in-depth, open dialogue at Grand Valley State University in Michigan last night. Add your voice in the comments below! And commit to the work. #bethe

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." I believe deeply in its transformative power - and also that the entire system needs to be reworked for a new generation and the current industrial, political and social landscapes around the US and around the globe. That is precisely why I was hugely honored and tremendously excited to teach a Master Course for the mover-shakers at Watson University! Watson University is a new model for higher edu

The power of protest. The power of movements. The power of Blacks and Jews uniting. It is a tremendous honor to speak at the Center for Civil and Human Rights in historic Atlanta, alongside civil rights leader Xernona Clayton, Rabbi Joshua Lesser and Urban League President Tereance Puryear - black, white, male, female, Christian, Jewish, gay, straight, old, young, east coast, west coast, all fiercely committed activists for justice - before a packed, engaged, passionate audie
