About Us!
We are a diverse group of young climate justice activists working together to lift the voices of youth, in particular youth of color and working class youth. Our collective action aims to fight for a livable climate and an equitable, sustainable, and just world.
Our Approach
We view climate change as a symptom of the same systems that fuel many of the social injustices our communities face. We fight climate change while also fighting various social inequities through tackling the root: a system that prioritizes profit and views people as disposable. Our members and staff are building a world in which most marginalized communities are not seen as disposable. We utilize practices that center and uplift community strength, self-determination, and genuine sustainability for all by building structures to strengthen youth leadership, in an intergenerational community and effort.
Our Goals
-
To engage more young people as community leaders and activists, especially those often shut out of climate discussions.
-
To “change the narrative” around climate issues by building popular cultural support for urgent climate action.
-
To achieve concrete policy changes that support young people’s right to a livable planet and just society.
