Malia Obama made a decision to exercise her right to protest, which continues her family’s legacy of activism.
During the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, last week Obama, the eldest daughter of former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, attended an event in support of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s protest of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
President Donald Trump signed orders on January 24 clearing the path for the controversial pipeline in a move to expand energy infrastructure and roll back the former administration’s key environmental actions. Trump also revived the Keystone XL project, which was rejected in 2015 by then-President Obama.
