June 13 Update from Democracy Now

June 14 Article Summary of Trial by The Guardian. Excellent article.

Also, today’s testimony included tribal officials and tribal youth. Their remarks are very pertinent and provide guidance to all of us regarding climate change. See the Our Children’s site for the trial. Scroll down to Updates.

Will our youth have their basic right to life and limb supported? Or will the old, oily gears of a technological-capitalist system deny them even this simple right? It has come to this. We must listen to our youth. Abandoning their plea is a death wish of the greatest magnitude in human history.
