Dolores Huerta, 93, is a living legend and influential U.S. labor and Chicano civil rights leader. Her seven decades of activism include co-founding the United Farm Workers with César Chávez, leading strikes and boycotts, and advocating for agricultural workers' rights, including safer conditions and benefits. Today, she shares insights on union organizing across all economic sectors and fostering unity among labor, social, racial, gender, and climate justice movements for a fairer society.

On March 13, WECAN and the Indigenous Women's Treaty Alliance petitioned the Army Corps of Engineers in Washington D.C. They demanded a robust environmental review of the proposed Line 5 crude oil pipeline reroute.

Enbridge's Line 5 operates illegally, threatening sacred ecosystems, clean water, treaty territories, and the global climate. Despite opposition, Enbridge plans a reroute and expansion. Activists insist Line 5 must be shut down and decommissioned, not merely rerouted.

The Indigenous Women's Treaty Alliance, supported by WECAN, Sierra Club, and community allies, delivered the petition. WECAN has facilitated the Alliance, comprising Great Lakes Indigenous women leaders, since 2022.

We all share a common goal: to protect iconic wildlife like bald eagles, wolves, and sea otters. We also strive for clean land, air, and water, ensuring ecosystems remain strong and stable.

Rising chronic diseases are partly linked to hazardous chemicals leaching from plastic food packaging and utensils. While food packaging pollutants are a public health concern, research on a strong causal link between plastics and conditions like infertility or immune disorders is still developing. TEDx events are independently organized; guidelines are available here.

In her TEDx talk, Dr. Jane Muncke explains chemical migration from plastic food contact materials and discusses regulatory gaps. She advocates for inert materials like glass and stainless steel. As Managing Director of the Food Packaging Forum (FPF), Dr. Muncke co-founded the organization to share scientific information on food packaging’s health and environmental impacts.

Enbridge's Line 5 pipeline, operating 20 years beyond its engineered lifespan, threatens 20% of the world's surface freshwater in the Great Lakes, along with sacred ecosystems, drinking water, and treaty territories. Indigenous women, tribal leaders, and allies are demanding its immediate shutdown and decommissioning.

Despite strong opposition, Enbridge proposes expanding and re-routing Line 5. This new route would devastate hundreds of waterways, including those vital to the Bad River Reservation, Lake Superior, and the Straits of Mackinac. It is imperative to stop this expansion and all fossil fuel projects now.

In this powerful talk, actor, rockstar, and animal activist Nina Bergman challenges the outdated notion that vegans lack strength. Her radical journey from a meat-obsessed culture to a relentless plant-based warrior defies stereotypes, proving that living vegan is an act of fierce strength, resilience, and compassion.

Through decades of nutritional self-experimentation and activism, Nina reveals how she became a "mean, lean, vegan machine." This isn't about trends; it's about transformation. Nina is living proof this lifestyle works, inspiring others to rethink what it means to be strong. This TEDx talk was independently organized. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

This final episode of our mini-series, based on the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's report "How not to fail: Avoiding 10 common pitfalls when scaling circular business models," highlights the critical role of coordination. Lead researchers Maddy Oliver and Ella Hedley explain that successful circular models require more than a strong design; they demand empowered and aligned teams with shared goals, incentives, and ownership to scale effectively.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, an international charity, accelerates the transition to a circular economy to address global challenges like climate change and pollution.
