A major theme of the SF Women's Building mural is water - one of the central images is the ocean Orisha/Goddess Yemaya - and the connections between women's activism and care for the Earth. Youth climate strike organizer Xiye Bastida speaks with Tiokasin Ghosthorse of First Voices Radio about indigenous traditions of stewardship for the earth and waterways as she waits for Swedish activist Greta Thunberg's boat to arrive in New York. And we'll hear part of Greta Thunberg's address to the French Parliament about why youth have had to step up to demand that adults take the climate crisis seriously (courtesy of WINGS - the Women's International News Gathering Service). Bay Area youth and adult allies will join the worldwide Youth Climate Strike September 20-27.
