Jade jadesjang, a Silver Award winner in Senior Prose from our 2020 Ocean Awareness Contest, felt disconnected from #oceanconservation before learning about Indigenous protests. "These movements held a dimension that I never considered before: Indigenous peoples are motivated to resist out of their cultural respect for the water, rather than just because of the harmful impact of a polluted ocean," she wrote. "I hope that we can learn to recognize the intersections between the social justice movements and the eco-justice movements, and create a coalition to promote a stronger resistance to both of these issues. To do so, however, we must take initiative and spread awareness of ways to act in solidarity with our Indigenous peers." 💯💙 Check out Jade's full piece via the 🔗 in our bio! · · · #OceanAwarenessContest #2020OceanAwarenessContest #writersofinsta #writerscorner #writersunite #youngwriter #prosewriting #intersectionalenvironmentalism #waterjustice #waterislife #conservation #i...
