Yesterday at @Glamour Magazine College Women of the Year I got to talk with @watford95. Her work is such a brilliant reminder that while our elected and corporate "leadership" is generally doing a dismal job in addressing climate justice, there are other powerful incredible leaders outside the spotlight who actually have all the answers we need. Cheers to Destiny on her win, here's to genuine optimism, so often inspired by women of color who continue to hold this country (& world) together for all of us. Take a moment to read how Destiny challenged the system and won in her own words, starting when she was just 17: ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• "Growing up in the Baltimore neighborhood of Curtis Bay, I never thought twice about the plumes billowing out of smokestacks. Pollution is normal here, and by high school I could list people I knew who’d died from lung cancer or who have asthma (including my mom). At 17 I started a group with 10 classmates called Free Your Voice to organize around human rights issues. Meanwhile, less than a mile away from our school, the largest trash-burning incinerator and power plant in the U.S. was slated for construction.

Officials said the project was “green” and would create jobs. But the incinerator would burn 4,000 tons of trash a day, releasing hundreds of pounds of mercury and lead each year! So our group started knocking on doors, and we grew to a hundreds-strong movement. Eventually 22 groups cut their contracts with the project, and after we lobbied the Maryland Department of the Environment, they essentially halted the project.

Now we hope to turn the 90-acre lot into a ­community-owned development that doesn’t put our lives at risk. No one deserves to have their life cut short because of where they were born." #climatejustice #glamourcwoty
