View a video on New Voices Are Rising students' efforts to clean up their neighborhood. In this student-produced video, Terranisha Nathaniel and other New Voices Are Rising students from EXCEL/McClymonds High School uncovered industrial pollution during pollution patrols in West Oakland.
The video was conceptualized by David Joseph Goteiner of Lick-Wilmerding High School and filmed and edited by fellow students Kirill Volchiniskly, and Alex Hillan, as part of a collaborative effort on the part of students from EXCEL/McClymonds and Lick-Wilmerding to focus public attention on this important struggle for environmental justice.
David and Terranisha received the Princeton Prize for Race Relations for their roles in this effort.
