Karen Topakian is one of seven Greenpeace activists who deployed a massive banner of resistance above the White House on January 25, 2017. Read why she’s taking action to stop Trump’s attacks on climate progress and how you can join the movement to protect people and the planet. <\/span><\/p>\n

There is no better time to act for our climate and communities than right now. <\/span><\/p>\n

Our democracy is under attack. In the coming hours, days, months, and years, we will all need to act on our values. So today, that’s what I’m doing. As I write this, I’m about to join six other Greenpeace activists to hang a massive, hand-painted banner of resistance<\/span> where Trump and his climate-denying administration can’t ignore it. <\/span><\/p>\n

And if you’re reading this, it means we succeeded.<\/h2>\n
