Conversations that go deep on the environment, the climate crisis, and the solutions
May 21, 2020
“It’s time to live out youth to power in all its forms.”
So says this high school senior and climate activist in her book Youth to Power: Your Voice and How to Use It, available June 2. Jamie sprang onto the national scene in 2018 as a founder and co-executive director of Zero Hour, which organized the first-ever national youth climate march. But Jamie and her young colleagues had to learn activism on the job and on the fly. Youth to Power is the book she wishes she had when launching and learning to run Zero Hour. This how-to guide—chock full of valuable lessons explained in concise prose—is a must read for any young person trying to better their world through activism.
Jamie shares with us key lessons from Youth to Power, takes listeners on a tour of the youth perspective on the climate crisis, and shows us that hope only comes in the form of action.
““Be the one who stands up and speaks truth to power, even when it is difficult and unpopular. Be the one who draws the line and says, ‘No more’.”
