The “Never Give Up” Bill Rodgers Legacy Fund
Andrea Rodgers, Senior Litigation Attorney, and her dad Bill Rodgers from A Climate of TRUST, 2014.
With hearts filled with both sadness and inspiration we share that one of our movement’s heroes, Professor “Bill” Rodgers died on April 10. Not only was he one of the founders of the field of environmental law, but he was also the beloved father and source of tremendous inspiration to Andrea Rodgers who serves as Our Children’s Trust’s Senior Litigation Attorney.
We invite you to invest in Bill’s legacy and his steadfast belief in our litigation strategy. Like her father, Andrea continues to argue cases from Juliana v. United States to Navahine F. v. Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation to Held v. State of Montana. In the last days of Bill’s life, Andrea sat reading to him Judge Jeffrey Crabtree’s April 6 ruling denying the State of Hawai‘i’s motion to dismiss the Navahine case, telling the 14 youth plaintiffs they will have their voices heard in court.
