Earthjustice

I’m excited to announce that I’m hosting a donation-based pressed leaf design workshop aimed at celebrating the beauty of nature while giving back to our environment! As many of you know, my journey into the world of pressed flowers began when I noticed the significant waste within the floral industry. I was deeply moved by how many beautiful blooms go unsold or discarded, and I realized I wanted to make a positive impact.

All proceeds from this workshop will be donated to Earthjustice, an organization dedicated to preserving biodiversity in the wild. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to a greener future. Let’s come together to celebrate nature, create art that lasts, and support a worthy cause!

Thank you for your support, and I can’t wait to share this special day with all of you!

My name is Rich Canevez, and I'm a professor, cyclist, and new father from Houghton MI.

I am fundraising for Earthjustice by riding solo on my gravel bike from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to Chicago, traveling through my politically divided slice of the American Midwest.

This is also an exciting part of my first book project, where I will gather stories to share myself, us, and our battle in the current political moment.

With your support, we can help Earthjustice to stand up for environmental stewardship through their projects across the United States, acting through litigation and the legal system. With widespread environmental deregulation looming, nature and the environment will be under increased threat these next few years. Earthjustice has a history of standing up to the previous version of this regime, and their efforts (among others) will be essential to meeting the renewed threat. I am riding to help provide a voice for their cause, and your support can make all the difference.

I have the privilege of working at an institution of higher learning, where I get to teach students about the challenges to progress in our society, whether it is racial justice, climate action, or threats to democracy worldwide. I have seen now that the threats are closer to home, and that those of us who believe in a better world need to put our money where our mouth is. For me, teaching and researching the struggle is no longer enough!

All funds raised through this GoFundMe section of the project will go directly to Earthjustice to assist with their programs, to enable the continuance and growth of their growth and mission.

We tackle environmental issues by using the power of law as an advocate for the Earth. They work to protect both people and wildlife, while promoting eco-friendly energy sources.

Many people live on land that is at risk of sinking, while others suffer from severe natural disasters which have been increasing. Significant species have been extinct already, and many more are at risk of extinction. Our life is threatened by rising temperatures, higher sea levels, and natural disasters. The earth urgently needs our help, so we make great efforts to preserve wilderness and promote clean energy with Earthjustice. By supporting their efforts, we can help create a sustainable world.

This is Raya, Laura, and Theo. Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Earthjustice, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
