Carolyn Harding with Tish O’Dell, a powerful voice for justice in Ohio, the US, and Globally.
Tish has been a Community Organizer for CELDF (Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund) since 2012 assisting residents to organize rights-based initiatives in their communities in order to help them “make real” the just and sustainable communities they envision for the future. CELDF has assisted hundreds of communities across the country to develop “first in the nation” laws banning fracking, factory farming, sludging, water privatization, industrial-scale energy development, and others addressing worker’s rights, homeless rights, immigrant rights, fair election issues, and nature’s rights, including the first in the nation law recognizing the rights of a specific ecosystem, the Lake Erie Bill of Rights in 2019.
