The Trail Blazers Ball brought together activists, artists, scientists, and community leaders to celebrate those on the frontlines of environmental and social justice…we’re proud to stand with them in our shared mission to explore, enjoy, and protect the wild places that connect us all.

In Pasadena for the NAACP Image Awards

Proud to be here as the Sierra Club’s Angeles Chapter helps communities recover from fires. Tonight, I’m celebrating my godbrother Dave as he receives the NAACP President’s Award, continuing a legacy of justice his great-grandfather led over a century ago.

In Altadena, I stood where the Eaton Fire took lives, homes, and livelihoods. We are caretakers of this garden, and it’s on fire. As Black History Month begins, we’re reminded that environmental justice is racial justice. We must act now for a just, resilient future.

Today, we celebrate the birthday of my friend, mentor, and hero, Julian Bond. His wisdom and courage continue to guide so many of us.

Whenever I face a challenge, I ask myself, #WWJB—What Would Julian Bond Do? It’s a question that’ll never steer you wrong.
