Leave a reply

Our Children’s Trust is a nonprofit based in Oregon.

It’s purpose, as stated on their website, is “to protect earth’s natural systems for current and future generations. We are here to empower and support youth as they stand up for their lawful inheritance: a healthy planet. We are mothers, fathers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers. We are adults, part of the ruling generation, and we care about the future of our children–and their children’s children.”

We stand on the brink of human-induced climate catastrophe. We will one day have to answer to our children and grandchildren for the choices we make at this pivotal moment.
