In memory of Wangari Maathai

‎"In the course of history, there comes a time when humanity is called to shift to a new level of consciousness, to reach a higher moral ground. A time when we have to shed our fear and give hope to each other. That time is now." ~ WANGARI MAATHAI

What a powerful quote for all the issues we are working on and community. And what an example of how we can stand for environmental justice, human rights and peace at the same time. And how each are linked. A very powerful "Mad" Woman role model and leader. (The below article references her being called a Mad woman, I do nto agree with how the sentiment at that time was used.)

For more on Wangari Maathai:
NY Times article, "First African Woman to Win the Nobel Peace Prize Dies"

Or search and many other articles are available from this week.

(Thanks for bringing this quote to my attention Paz)
