“Our oil-based society depends on non-renewable resources. It requires relentless probing into vast reaches of pristine land, sacrificing vital bioregions, and irreplaceable cultures. The possibility of catastrophic climate change is substantially increased by the 40 million barrels of oil burned every day by vehicles. We must all move shoulder to shoulder in a unified front to show this administration that the true majority of people are willing to vote for a cleaner environment and won't back down.” PeopleShowsMovingCultureMillionsEnvironmentSacrificeLandFrontsPossibilityWillingDependsResourcesVoteMajorityClimateClimate ChangeOilShouldersAdministrationVehicleBurnedEcologyRelentlessBarrelsCleanersUnifiedIrreplaceablePristineProbingRenewable Resources Author:Leonardo DiCaprio

The fact was that you couldn't vote in this country if you did not own land, and that was basically you had to be a white man who owned land. Now how did they get that land? They basically had to steal it from someone, and that would be probably the Indians. And so most of the initial founding fathers were, while they may have had some really nice ideas about democracy, they had a lot of issues with people of color. They had a lot of issues with people who held things that they coveted.” PeopleIfsMenMayIdeasCountryFactsRealityWould BeFatherWhiteDemocracyIssuesNiceLandColorVoteStealingWhite ManFoundingInitialsReally NiceSpeculators Author:Winona LaDuke

He did not get the majority of the popular vote; that went to Hillary Clinton. That means those votes represent the consciousness of the nation, which is that abortion should be legal, that contraception and family planning are health issues and prevention, that a woman's right to reproductive privacy is the law of the land and should remain such.” ShouldMeanDoeLawNationsCan DoConsciousnessIssuesLandWorstCollegeTrumpVoteElectionMajorityAssumingClintonPlanningAbortionVotingPrivacyWorst ThingsMandatesPreventionContraceptionFamily PlanningHealth IssuesElectoral CollegePopular Vote Author:Willie Parker
