Judith Rodin emphasizes that future preparation requires building better cities. Dozens of global cities, from New York to Dhaka, have recently endured large-scale catastrophes, including natural disasters, conflicts, and disease. In our interconnected world, these events harm vulnerable individuals, destabilize communities, and threaten entire societies.

Facing increasing city-wide risks, we must improve our ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. Dr. Judith Rodin, President of the Rockefeller Foundation and author of *The Resilience Dividend*, offers groundbreaking research. She guides individuals, companies, and societies in averting disaster by fostering more dynamic, resilient urban environments.

Rodin's work explores critical questions, such as lessons from Japan's 2011 tsunami and Haiti's humanitarian aid. Her book, *The Resilience Dividend*, is available for order.

The Standing Rock movement, centered at the O�héthi ŠakówiÅ‹ camp, brought together over 200 indigenous nations and 6,000 people in unprecedented solidarity. This fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline is crucial for protecting water and asserting indigenous sovereignty against a colonialist state.

On Indigenous People's Day 2016, we stood with #StandingWithStandingRock. Journalist Jonathan Klett, US Representative Candidate Chase Iron Eyes, and Native Organizers Alliance director Judith LeBlanc discuss the critical issues at stake in this vital indigenous rights movement.
