Published on September 12, 2016, Democracy Now covered the Standing Rock standoff, interviewing Winona LaDuke.

LaDuke, a longtime Native American activist and executive director of Honor the Earth, lives on Minnesota's White Earth Reservation. She previously led a successful fight against the Sandpiper pipeline, which was similar to the Dakota Access project.

The interview took place at Red Warrior Camp, one of the encampments where thousands of Native Americans from hundreds of tribes across the U.S. and Canada were resisting the pipeline's construction.

Bill McKibben spoke at the Marion Institute in New Bedford, MA, from October 26-28, 2012. His presentation focused on the ongoing fight against global warming, urging New Englanders to join the effort.

McKibben, author of a dozen environmental books including the seminal *The End of Nature* (1989), co-founded the grassroots climate campaign 350.org. A fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, he notably led the 2011 White House protest against the Keystone pipeline, which resulted in 1,253 arrests—the largest civil disobedience action in 30 years.

2016 marked the hottest year on record, continuing a decades-long warming trend. Scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) analyzed global measurements, confirming Earth’s average surface temperature has risen approximately 2.0°F (1.1°C) since the late 19th century.

This significant temperature increase is largely attributed to human emissions into the atmosphere.

The clean energy transition, often associated with the affluent, is fundamentally a civil rights issue. Communities of color disproportionately suffer from toxic pollution near factories and refineries, leading African Americans and Latinos to express greater concern about climate change than whites.

Despite this critical link, environmental movements frequently lack diversity and struggle to engage these communities. We delve into these challenges with hip hop artist and activist Mystic, civil rights hero Rev. Gerald Durley, and civil rights lawyer Ingrid Brostrom.

As carbon-fee-and-dividend legislation prepares for reintroduction in the new Congress, we heard from economist Dr. Noah Kaufman. He was the lead author of the 2019 Columbia University assessment of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act, which confirmed the bill's environmental and economic effectiveness.

Dr. Kaufman is a Research Scholar at Columbia's Center on Global Energy Policy, where he leads research on climate change policies and teaches Energy Decarbonization. He previously served as Deputy Associate Director of Energy & Climate Change at the White House Council on Environmental Quality during the Obama administration.
