  • Photojournalist Michael Nigro on Documenting History as It Happens

    Photojournalist Michael Nigro on Documenting History as It Happens
    Jun 25 2025

    Photojournalist Michael Nigro reported a piece for the Bucks County Beacon earlier this month from the streets of Los Angeles which were turned into a war zone after Trump sent in the National Guard and Marines to quash anti-ICE protests. He was actually shot in the head with nonlethal bullet by police, though thankfully he was wearing a helmet. This multimedia journalist based in Brooklyn, New York joins us today to talk about his work and his penchant for ​documenting ​​world-changing stories that has put him at the forefront of some of the most crucial events of our times, including OCCUPY Standing Rock, Charlottesville, the Yellow Vest Movement in France, The January 6th Capitol Riots, and three assignments in Ukraine, to name a few.​ His work has been featured in dozens of publications including The New York Times, The Guardian, Vice, The Intercept, Rolling Stone, and Time​ Magazine.

    CELDF’s Ben Price, Trailblazer in the Rights of Nature Movement, on His New Book, “Wouldn’t You Say: A Collection of Essays About Environment and Community”
    Apr 22 2025

    On this special Earth Day episode of The Signal, we welcome Ben Price, education director at the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund, where he has worked at since 2004. Ben is a trailblazer in the Rights of Nature movement and has a new book out: Wouldn’t You Say? A Collection of Essays About Environment and Community.

    In this conversation, we discuss his book and how the rights of nature movement challenges us to rethink our relationship with the natural world while calling us to expand our political imaginations to not just dream of what a sustainable, just world looks like – but how each of us can work in our own communities to make that dream a reality.
