It wouldn't be a stretch to call Sandra Steingraber a warrior mom. She's fighting for the future of her two children, and she is challenging other parents to join the battle: "Just as at some point we had to decide that slavery was a homicidal abomination that had to stop, we need to divorce our economy from its dependence on fossil fuels. I'm calling on parents to become abolitionists for this new age."
