Smith, CLDC Board President &amp; Cooperating Attorney<\/p>\n<p>Last week, at the Next Generation Climate Justice Action Camp (NGCJAC), a diverse group of youth and adult organizers met in Southern Oregon to share tools and stories and prepare the next generation of climate justice organizers for the work that is to come. Despite the sometimes dense wildfire smoke drifting into camp, both youth and adults rose to the occasion for a busy week of workshops and planning that culminated in an inspiring youth-led protest, rally, and march against the construction of a liquified natural gas (LNG) export pipeline.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s some of what the youth had to say. . . .<\/p>\n<p>From their protest at the offices of Pacific Connector, where they delivered a \u201cPermit Denied\u201d sign:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe are the future and you are destroying us. By creating this destructive pipeline you will harm rivers, animals, and peoples\u2019 homes. The LNG pipeline is an invasion and disrespects the earth. The future deserves a clean, beautiful, and healthy earth. We, the youth, deny this pipeline. We promise to continue fighting for justice and future generations.
