Wildlife VP: East Palestine mustn't join 'inexcusable list.' Biden, DeWine must investigate by: Mustafa Santiago Ali: I am profoundly honored to receive the Planet In Focus "2023 International Eco-Hero Award." This award holds a special meaning far beyond a personal accolade; it's a tribute to my mother and grandmother, who are the unwavering rock upon which I stand. Their love, sacrifices, and teachings have shaped my essence, enabling me to advocate for the most vulnerable. I also extend this award to the nurturing mothers and aunties of the #EnvironmentalJustice Movement, whose endless love and wisdom have been my guiding light. Your indelible imprints fuel my resolve to amplify our shared ethos, tirelessly striving to transition communities from just "surviving" to vibrantly "thriving." I appreciate you all more than words could ever define. ✊
