http://democracynow.org - While Democracy Now! was covering the Standing Rock standoff earlier this month, we spoke to Winona LaDuke, longtime Native American activist and executive director of the group Honor the Earth. She lives and works on the White Earth Reservation in northern Minnesota. She spent years successfully fighting the Sandpiper pipeline, a pipeline similar to Dakota Access. We met her right outside the Red Warrior Camp, where she has set up her tipi. Red Warrior is one of the encampments where thousands of Native Americans representing hundreds of tribes from across the U.S. and Canada are currently resisting the pipeline’s construction.

Unknown to many, Bayard Rustin was the heart and soul of the civil rights movement in the United States. As Martin Luther King Jr.’s chief organizer, he helped translate the philosophy of nonviolence into direct action by organizing the 1963 March on Washington. So why isn’t he more famous? Bayard’s commitment to speaking truth to power was matched by his commitment to living out his own truth as an openly gay man. But being his authentic self in an era of widespread, open homophobia often kept Bayard away from the spotlight. From the home they once shared in New York City, his longtime partner Walter Naegle reflects on the life, love and legacy of an American hero.

President Trump is taking on teen climate fighter Greta Thunberg after their frosty encounter at the United Nations Monday. The Swedish 16-year-old criticized world leaders for their lack of action to fight climate change. She has not mentioned Trump by name, but the president has suggested climate change does not exist or is not an immediate threat. On Monday night, the president tweeted, “She seems like a very happy young girl, looking forward to a bright and wonderful future, so nice to see.” #InsideEdition

Online activism has exploded in popularity since the beginning of the pandemic. But does the rise of ‘topical activism’ mean we’re jumping from movement to movement without creating real change?

We asked seven young people living in the UK about their relationship with online activism, the future of protest and ultimately: is anyone really an activist, when everyone is an activist online?
