Sometimes the best way to get something done is to
go out there and stand up for what you believe in,

effective because of our willingness to bear witness to
environmental injustices and to take peaceful direct

bring about solutions that ensure a green and peaceful
future. A person who bears witness to an injustice
takes responsibility for that awareness.
That person may then choose to do something or
standby, but they may not turn away in ignorance.

ice melting, to the Antarctic to get between whales
and harpoons, or to a local toxic chemical facility to
protest pollution, we hope that you will bear witness
