Yesterday I learned that institutions, corporations, and brands are not impenetrable— they’re all made of people who, for the most part, want to be part of the solution when it comes to the climate crisis

It’s important to bring with us those who have not yet found their place in the climate movement who have huge reach and influence

The world won’t change unless ALL of us do our part. Mobilizing and organizing on the ground will always be the most powerful tool for change- but remember that we protest to get into spaces that have pushed us aside before. And once we’re in those spaces, we must plant a seed

of change. The question I got asked the most was: « what is the one thing I can do to make an impact? » this is a very popular question and they mostly expect you to say «turn off your lights and recycle»

My answer varied depending on who asked- responses where:
-Vow to only wear sustainable clothing (I got a big stare I don’t know why)
-Not only include climate lyrics in songs, but talk about why you do it
-Have youth speak at your board (I will speak to 3,000 employees soon!)

And many more— the main message is that climate justice must be present at every space. It shouldn’t be a person, but a principle. My hope is that climate justice activists won’t be needed at events because everyone will be one
