Dear John,
The Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Fund has pledged $100,000 in matching funds through Giving Tuesday. Every gift you make will be DOUBLED.
This is what democracy looks like:
After winning Hawaiʻi's historic climate settlement, Navahine plaintiff Rylee Brooke didn't stop. She joined the Youth Transportation Council, planted native ʻilima in courthouse soil, and now shapes her state's infrastructure decisions. "The settlement was only the beginning," she says. "Real change comes from sustained effort."
Democracy isn't inherited—it's practiced. It's Rylee Brooke rebuilding transportation systems in Hawaiʻi. It's Joseph testifying in federal court in Montana, sharing his health struggles and love for the outdoors. It's Delaney in Florida speaking out to save the places she grew up loving from rising seas and extreme hurricanes.
