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.

Ryan Camero, Brower Youth Awards 2015
November 03, 2015

Ryan Camero, from Stockton, CA, began volunteering with Restore the Delta in 2010 to understand community resilience amidst social challenges and water issues. His interest in art and storytelling led him to the Beehive Collective. Collaborating with Restore the Delta and Food and Water Watch, Camero conceptualized "Sucked Dry" in 2014, a presentation with Beehive Collective graphics that linked California's water privatization to struggles against large-scale infrastructure projects in Mesoamerica.

Last fall, Camero toured 18 California cities, presenting "Sucked Dry" and facilitating discussions on the fragile Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Now employed by Restore the Delta, he continues to act as a "cross-pollinator," fostering collaborations across organizations to address interconnected social, environmental, and economic inequities.
