Laura has worked for environmental justice her entire career. But her sons, Jeff and Nate, taught her about hope.
At six years old, Jeff became a plaintiff in Held v. Montana—too young to understand the intricacies, old enough to know what matters. Together, Jeff, his brother Nate, and his fellow youth plaintiff broke ground when the Montana Supreme Court ruled in their favor. This September, at nearly twelve, Jeff testified in federal court in Lighthiser v. Trump and made history again.
Jeff's message is simple: "You can make a difference if you want to. You should try—and you should keep believing in what you believe."
Laura's too: "You don't have to know everything about politics or government to stand up for what you love. Just speaking up creates power and alliances that change the world."
