Tora Fisher is a New York-based singer-songwriter and performance artist. Her father founded the Fisher House Foundation, a network of comfort homes for military families. Tora developed a keen interest in both the arts and this philanthropic work.

At 13, Tora was the sole survivor of a plane crash that killed her father and stepmother. Music and performance aided her recovery and pursuit of her dreams as a recording artist. She now supports the Fisher House Foundation by donating proceeds from her CDs.

As Tora aptly puts it, "it's not about what happened to me; it's about what's happening."

On March 31, 2014, the Tennessee House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved a bill to establish a state licensing program for legal hemp cultivation. Sponsor Rep. Jeremy Faison emphasized hemp's historical benefits and cited the recent U.S. Farm Bill, which permits states to regulate production and allows universities to conduct studies.

The legislation passed with an 88-5 vote. Following its approval, Faison distributed various hemp products, such as breakfast cereal, soap, cooking oil, and twine, to legislative leaders, showcasing the plant's diverse applications.

Congress is actively addressing climate change, as highlighted by Dr. Danny Richter, CCL's VP of Government Affairs. Recent legislative progress includes the House passing the RECLAIM Act, providing $1 billion for mine cleanup and job creation. Additionally, the bipartisan Growing Climate Solutions Act, promoting climate-smart farming, advanced in Congress. The U.S. House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis also released a report advocating for climate action, including carbon pricing.

With Congress engaged, volunteers should participate in our Monthly Calling Campaign, write letters to the editor, and engage with Members of Congress on social media. For more details, review CCL's summary of the Select Committee report.

Mah Pe Ya Mini (Henry Skywater), a respected Dakota Elder, Knowledge Keeper, and ceremonial leader, often shared his "Spirit of Life" song. He connected it to the Dakota creation story: a blue light journeys from a heavenly house to a mother's womb, lives on Earth, and then returns to its celestial origin.

The song's essence, "Lightning beings! It's me! There is a house in the heavens where I was born," reflects this journey. Shared with his family's permission to continue his legacy, this video is posted on behalf of the Turtle Lodge, where Henry was an Elder, and Elders Circle Seven, who honored him with the Mikinak-Keya Spirit Tour.
