A Special Thank You to Our Amazing Speakers!
Our Special Guest Emcee, Anisha Desai, brought her expertise in movement building for justice, equity, and the environment to the stage! Her insights brought life to the connections between our films, the Rose Community, and the larger movement.
And our New Voices Team energized the audience, making a Call to Action to support youth who are leading the environmental justice movement!
