Ilhan Omar, State Representative, Minnesota, the first Somali-American Muslim woman legislator "What I know to be true is that as we sit in this particular time in history, the kind of hope and light that people like myself offer, will get us through the despair. We haven't formed our character as a nation because we failed to see the hope of tomorrow. We formed our character because we continue to fight if the face of hate and divisiveness and I know that more than ever we will continue to do that. I invite you all to join me in the struggle where we have unity in our diversity." #goodpitch #britdoc

Tara Houska, Honor the Earth - lead organizer in the #dapl resistance. "As a country and a people, we should be judged by how we treat our most vulnerable people. I think it's time that we continue doing what we have been doing - grassroots organizing and taking to the streets. I don't think we are going to be able to rely on the federal government to fix these things. We don't have to listen to their narrative - we have to hold our elected officials accountable." #britdoc #goodpitch
