S5E7: Solidarity Across Borders (Part II) with Ren Martin & Analyah Schlaeger dos Santos

The US is not necessarily in good standing on the international stage, and many young people feel that domestic and global climate policy do not represent their interests. There’s a need for leaders to take courageous action to address these challenges. A frequently asked question by politicians and leaders is “how can youth get involved in the climate and environmental justice movement”.

In this episode we bring Youth Climate Policy Council founders Analyah Schlaeger dos Santos and Ren Martin to discuss centering youth in policy advocacy, not just in the US South, but globally.

“When we say the “youth is our future”, we are not only in the future but we are in the present. We deserve decision making power now.”
