Naan ne am Dede

"Your mommy, daddy, bubu, jimma, your country, and your President too -- we will all fight." 

Those are just some of the words still reverberating around the world from poet/activist Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner who opened the UN Climate Summit on behalf of all of the civil sector including the non-profit she and her cousins and friends founded in the Marshall Islands called JoJiKuM.
