“We don’t want to just speak up for the Porcupine Mountains. We want to fight for every single patch of green area and wildness, both without and within ourselves that we can. And politicians will not necessarily listen to us unless they hear from us in incredible numbers and that’s why it’s important for us to stay united and to keep building this chorus louder and more powerful.”
