We were honored to have WATER Institute Co-Director Kate Lundquist and our close collaborator, Kevin Swift of Swift Water Design, present for the release.

From the Counterstream team: āOur new name reflects our mission to center the stories and perspectives that mainstream media often miss. While our look may be different, our values and our commitment to Media for Environmental Justice remains the same. Our media projects will continue to focus on the connections between racial, social and climate justice ā and personal narratives that spark meaningful conversations and shift power from extractors to justice.ā![]()
