I am an activist living in the redrock country of Moab Utah. I am the mother of 5 young adults and the Nana to 5 young people. They are the driving force to the passion that fuels my activism.
My association with Peaceful Uprising began before the group was formed. I was at the BLM auction, as a protester, when Tim DeChristopher chose to take a stand and risk his own freedom to stop certain destruction on thousands of pristine acres. We met the day after the auction and 2 weeks later, we launched Peaceful Uprising, knowing that there are others out there who need a place to use their voice regarding the threats to a livable future for our planet and ourselves.
It has been an amazing and fast 2 years and PeaceUp has grown to a new level, supporting those who are unwilling to simply stand by and watch the senseless destruction of our planet. We are working to make this a better world. Join Us!
Julianne, I agree with you wholeheartedly. I was there a year ago and went to jail with you. I believe Tim is everyone’s friend, esp in Utah where he protected that wilderness that would have displaced all that wildlife and the only ones that would have prospered were the billionaires in the oil industry. I commend your work and hope to see you soon. I was in slc for Tim’s anniversary and didn’t see you! Hope to hear from you!
