“Not all knowledge comes from school. Years of discrimination deprived women the chance to achieve education but that isn't ground to deny them leadership positions,” says Eileen while facilitating a session allowing women to share their leadership experiences. #WhenWomenLead

Together with @naturaljustice we held a 2-day Women's Boot Camp Training in Nanyuki involving women CLMC members from communities in Samburu, Marsabit, Laikipia & Isiolo counties.
The camp allowed women to learn, network & share their experiences.#CommunityLandKe #WhenWomenLead

Africa's #LegalEmpowerment experts gathered in Nairobi this week for the #AfricaRegionalWorkshop to share strategies and build an agenda for learning and action!

An important story produced by the good folks at @mailandguardian's Africa desk on how mining profits meant to reach communities in Sierra Leone, hardly does.

Leaders at COP-26 should recognize that we can't find a pathway out of the climate crisis through technology or top-down commitments alone. We need to confront the injustice that makes the destruction possible. More from me in the piece below, in @latimes. #ClimateAction
"Here’s a shameful fact about the 21st century: Standing up for the planet can get you killed".
Vivek Maru is right - @POTUS needs to take environmental justice seriously abroad as well as at home and #DefendTheDefenders.

I stand in solidarity with the Brazilian Indigenous movement as gold mafias are invading Indigenous lands across the Amazon. These forest guardians are the last line of defense of the Amazon rainforest. #LevantePelaTerra #MarcoTemporalNão
