Our Youth Speak Up

About This Collection

Let's hear from our children, and their advocates, on the social, environmental, cultural, and economic concerns around sustainability and the call to always act responsibly and with the next seven generations in mind. The collection will also feature, from time to time, adults who are speaking on behalf of children. 

To add to this collection email children@earthsayers.com.  Thank you.

2018 BYA Rose Whipple Speech
November 05, 2018

This text introduces Rose Whipple's 2018 Brower Youth Awards Speech.

Rose, a 17-year-old from Minnesota, actively opposes the proposed Line 3 Pipeline. This project threatens to cross Minnesota and indigenous territories, endangering the traditional way of life for the Anishinaabe and Dakota people.
