THE EVERYDAY SAINTS PROJECT

The EVERYDAY SAINTS project has evolved out a sense of gratitude toward many individuals who have impacted my life or the life of others with their unique talents, inherent goodness and generosity. Having studied art history and countless saint images over the years, I can’t help but associate saint-like qualities with certain “everyday” people I have encountered. Do you have any such everyday saints in your life?  

GRETA the GREAT is our third EVERYDAY SAINT.

“Skolstrejk förklimatet” [School strike for the climate]

“for inspiring and amplifying political demands for urgent
climate action reflecting scientific facts “

.

THIS GENERATION IS OUR HOPE

“It had been less than a year since she first walked out of school as an unknown, awkward, nearly friendless 15-year-old making a lonely protest outside the Swedish Parliament against her country’s absolute indifference to the climate crisis, which she saw in uncannily black-and-white terms. She painted her now-iconic sign in those colors, which she carried across the Atlantic on the two-week carbon-free journey she documented periodically on social media. Black capital letters on white: SKOLSTREJK FÖR KLIMATET (or “School Strike for Climate”).” – nymag.com

.

Driven by her scientific understanding of the climate crisis and the insufficient response of politics and society to the problem, it became Thunberg’s mission to promote action against climate change. She personifies the notion that everyone has the power to create change. Her example has inspired and empowered people from all walks of life to demand political action. – The Right Livelihood Foundation
