"When I learned a massive oil pipeline was set to run through my home state, at first I felt powerless to do anything about it. A spill could potentially damage my homeland, and compromise 30% of America's fresh water.
So I decided to invite eight friends over for dinner. We discussed our fears and shared our ideas on how to protect our state. What started as a brainstorming session quickly grew into a coalition of many. We're transforming our grief and rage into action, and our despair into hope. Because hope is not about outcome, it's about the belief we're doing meaningful and important work."
