This Year’s Against All Odds Event Celebrated Our Community’s Creativity Art can inspire, shock, educate, and entertain. Whether it’s posters we bring to a No Kings march that call out political corruption, a film that opens
up the conversation about factory farms, or a musical performance that raises awareness about the impor- tance of water, art plays an essential role in the work we do together.

At this year’s annual benefit, Against All Odds: Illustrating Activism, we celebrated the power of art and creativity in our movement and the impact artists have in our community.

And we heard from former U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón , up-and-coming environmental filmmakers Angie Chay-Arana and Summit Olson , and activist
and author Maude Barlow . We also enjoyed a live performance by musicians and water activists Britton & The Sting . After an inspiring Against All Odds, we hope you lean into your own creativity and celebrate the joy, imagination, and resourceful- ness you bring to our community. Thank you! — We need you here.
