Emma Robbins is a Diné artist and social justice fighter who directs the Navajo Water Project at Dig Deep Water, a human rights nonprofit that works to provide Americans with clean running water. Robbins grew up on the Navajo Nation, which has one of the highest concentrations of water poverty and uranium contamination in the nation.
