Maya Green gets it.

SOCAN co-facilitators Alan Journet and Kathy Conway hold the SOCAN banner bringing Southern Oregon support to the Youth at the Eugene Wayne Morse courthouse for ‘The trial of the century.’

The 6-year-old girl, missing her two front teeth and wearing a colored sign on her back that depicted the Earth along with the words “I hope you get better soon,” stood among hundreds of people who gathered Monday outside the U.S. Courthouse in Eugene for a rally in support of a youth-led climate lawsuit against the government.

The SOCAN banner and a small but intrepid group of SOCANistas braved the drizzly conditions to demonstrate support for the actions of the Youth to bring the case of holding our natural resources in trust for future generations
