 Organizing & Developing Grassroots Power to Create ChangeDestiny Watford, Goldman Environmental Prize winner, environmental activist from Baltimore During her high school senior year, Watford attended a play called “Enemy of the People.” The play raised questions about government’s role and moral responsibilities when people’s health and lives are at risk. The play struck a chord with the shy young teenager, and after discussing it with a school advisor, she co-founded Free Your Voice, a student organization dedicated to community rights and social justice. In a community whose environmental rights had long been sidelined to make room for heavy industry, Destiny Watford inspired residents of her Baltimore neighborhood to defeat plans to build the nation’s largest incinerator less than a mile away from her high school. https://www.goldmanprize.org/recipient/destiny-watford/ |
