William Mitchell delivered a talk titled "Portland: A Black Perspective" on July 1, 2020.

This event was hosted by the Pearl District Neighborhood Association in Portland, Oregon.

On August 17, 2020, the Trump administration opened the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge's 1.5 million-acre Coastal Plain to oil and gas lease sales, possibly by December. This decision, amidst an oil glut and climate change concerns, targets the last 5% of America's previously protected Arctic Coastal Plain. It threatens to transform these wild lands into an industrial complex, jeopardizing the Gwich'in Nation's food security, spiritual, and cultural heritage—they call it "the sacred place where life begins." This move also endangers polar bears, the Porcupine Caribou herd, and migratory birds, marking a critical environmental and social justice conflict.

A video features Gwich'in community members from the 2016 Gwich'in Gathering, testifying against this development.

The Center actively works to protect imperiled plants across the country, from deserts to rainforests and swamps. Join our upcoming webinar to learn about our vital efforts to save endangered plants and discover how you can contribute.

The presentation will feature Hawaii Director Maxx Phillips and Senior Scientist Ileene Anderson. For more on Hawaii's plant extinction crisis, watch this Great Big Story video: https://youtu.be/XFAQeyUfiAc

Louisville has experienced clashes between armed militia and Black Lives Matter (BLM) protesters, reflecting broader demonstrations across American cities. These confrontations, often reported by news outlets like the Lexington Herald Leader, are largely fueled by calls for justice.

Specifically, protesters demand accountability for the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old EMT, by Louisville Metro Police officers on March 13, 2020. In one notable incident, a heavily armed group calling themselves "American patriots" retreated from downtown after being confronted by BLM activists.

The Black Lives Matter movement, born from a social media post, has ignited global discussions on race and inequality. In an October 2016 TED conversation with Mia Birdsong, founders Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi shared insights on leadership, hope, and inspiration amidst painful realities.

They offered advice for ensuring universal freedom: "join something, start something and 'sharpen each other, so that we all can rise.'"

In September 2016, the critical importance of sacred lands, exemplified by the Standing Rock movement, gained significant attention.

This movement underscored the vital link between protecting these lands and addressing climate change, emphasizing the need for responsible environmental stewardship.
