Protect Our Land and Water

The Bold Alliance is a network of small and mighty groups in rural states working to protect the land and water.

We fight fossil fuel projects, protect landowners against eminent domain abuse, and work for clean energy solutions while building an engaged base of citizens who care about the land, water, and climate change.

The Bold Alliance works with an unlikely alliances of farmers, ranchers, fisherfolk, Tribal nations, and progressives to stop risky fossil fuel and industrial food projects with the grassroots style we used to stop Keystone XL.

I LOVE NU

New work for the University of Nebraska:

I don’t know where I’d be without the university. My time in Lincoln as a Husker was extremely formative. Full of smart stuff, dumb stuff, growing stuff, changing stuff, etc. Being pushed. Challenged. Getting out of my comfort zone on a scale that was big. Still Nebraska. Still a city I was familiar with. But different. This place of higher learning was where I learned, lived, and started my path to where I am today. I owe it a lot. And I won’t forget it.

We Love Our Sons and Daughters

Project launch for Campaign Zero:

Michael O.D. Brown was eighteen, black, unarmed and gunned down in broad daylight, around noon on August 9, 2014, in the middle of Canfield Drive by a Ferguson police officer. In the days that followed, no police report was released, only a video by the Ferguson police department assassinating Michael’s character. His brutal killing sparked protests all over the country, gaining international attention and support.

Heartbeat bill? Give me a break.

My written comment against LB626:

This bill isn’t about a heartbeat. Because we all know it’s not a heartbeat you hear. This bill is about an extremist minority flexing its anti-democratic power to ruin lives. This bill is anti-freedom, anti-woman, anti-community, anti-healthcare. It’'s a ridiculous display of religion. This isn’t conservatism in any way. Fanaticism by a few, out of touch Nebraskans who are making a mockery out of the label Pro-Life. NO BANS, EVER.
