Tim DeChristopher, environmental activist and co-founder of Peaceful Uprising and the Climate Disobedience Center, is widely known for disrupting a Bureau of Land Management auction in order to protect over 150,000 acres of public lands in Utah. He spent nearly two years in prison for this action, despite the Obama Administration later determining that the auction was illegal. Following prison, Tim attended Harvard Divinity School believing that his conviction was reflective of a larger moral crisis in this country. Tim has used his many platforms to highlight the urgency of the climate crisis and to call for bold action to create a just and healthy world. He currently lives in Maine where he continues to work on climate issues and to help rebuild connections to the Earth through regenerative farming.
