Quote of the Month

"With every dawn we carry
the weight of the fate of this celestial body orbiting a star.
And as heavy as that weight sounded, it doesn't hold us down,
but it keeps us grounded, steady, ready,
because an environmental movement of this size
is simply another form of an earthrise."
-- Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman, from "Earthrise"
