YOUTH-LED ORGANIZATIONS FOR CLIMATE ACTION
- Sunrise Movement: https://www.sunrisemovement.org
- “Sunrise is a youth movement to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs in the process. We’re building an army of young people to make climate change an urgent priority across America, end the corrupting influence of fossil fuel executives on our politics, and elect leaders who stand up for the health and well-being of all people.”
- “As climate activists, we imagine a world where we stop climate change by transforming our whole economy. This fight against climate change exists alongside the fight against white supremacy and colonialism. We see it in every pipeline that tears through Indigenous lands. We see it in every factory pumping pollutants into Black neighborhoods. We see it in every cage at our borders imprisoning immigrants who tried to escape famine and drought.”

- “We’re building an army of young people to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs in the process.”
- Youth Climate Strike: https://strikewithus.org
- “2020 is a critical year for climate action. We need everyone to step up and make the choice to join this movement and this fight. Youth and their allies are inviting you to join them as we usher in a decade of transformative climate action. Add your name to show support for the movement to protect our generation, and all generations that come after us.”
- Fridays for Future (FFF): https://fridaysforfuture.org
- “FFF is a global climate strike movement that started in August 2018, when 15-year-old Greta Thunberg began a school strike for climate … along with other groups across the world, Fridays for Future is part of a hopeful new wave of change, inspiring millions of people to take action on the climate crisis.”
- Extinction Rebellion: https://rebellion.global
- “Life on Earth is in crisis. Our climate is changing faster than scientists predicted and the stakes are high. Biodiversity loss. Crop failure. Social and ecological collapse. Mass extinction. We are running out of time, and our governments have failed to act. Extinction Rebellion was formed to fix this.”
