GRITtv: What Would Dave Do? Brower Youth Awards

See video

David Brower was a pioneering environmentalist, first executive director of the Sierra Club and a mentor to many young activists. The Earth Island Institute created the annual Brower Youth Awards to honor six young people for their outstanding activism and achievements in the fields of environmental and social justice advocacy. Each winner is awarded $3000 and brought to San Francisco for the award week and a backcountry camping trip. This video, made by Rikshaw Films, gives a little bit of insight into the kind of work the institute is promoting with this award.

It's election day, and with Democratic candidates facing tough races in several states, we take a look at what the left can learn from religious organizations, who manage to keep people coming back week after week. Does religion have a place in social justice movements, and does the right have a lock on religious motivation to act? Joining us to debate the proper place of religion and spirituality on the Left are Michael De Dora the Rev. Osagyefo Sekou, Kim Gandy and Rabbi Michael Feinberg. Plus all the day's news.
