Washington Post senior writer Frances Stead Sellers speaks with Wanjiku "Wawa" Gatheru, founder of Black Girl Environmentalist, Xiye Bastida, co-founder of Re-Earth Initiatives and Alexandria Villaseñor, co-founder of U.S. Youth Climate Strike about how girls and women are leading the shift in the climate movement. This conversation was recorded on Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2022.

Julia Lewis has been organizing within the climate movement for 2 years. She is a junior at St. Catherine's Montessori High School, and also works on the Actions Team at Sunrise Houston. Vidya Muthupillai(moo-two-pee-lie) has been involved in the climate movement for the past 4 years. She is currently a senior at Glenda Dawson High School and a youth organizer in other issues as well. Devin Guevara is a senior at Sharpstown International School. He joined the climate movement back in 2019, and has been working to advance a comprehensive solution to the climate crisis ever since. All three are co-general coordinators of Houston Youth Climate Strike.

Jamie Margolin is a climate organizer from Seattle and freshman in college. As a 14 year old high school student, she co-founded the youth climate activist group Zero Hour and went on to help organize and lead the massive Youth Climate Strike in the fall of 2019. Jamie was a surrogate for Bernie Sanders during the 2020 Democratic primary, and is also a plaintiff in a climate lawsuit against her home state of Washington.  Jamie also recently authored an amazing new book called “Youth to Power: Your Voice and How to Use It.” The book is a fascinating sort of DIY manual for activism and in each chapter, Jamie interviews another youth activist about a particular aspect of activism. Our conversation with Jamie is stitched together from a couple of different interviews, and it touches on how she came to activism at a young age, sparring with Republicans on Capitol Hill, writing her book, and dealing with burnout.  Buy Jamie’s Book Follow Jamie on Twitter and Instagram Get involved with & support Zero Hour Subscribe to GenGND's newsletter Episode transcript available at generationgreennewdeal.com Learn more about your ad choices.

A recent national poll found 52 percent of 18 to 34-year-old voters support Bernie in the Democratic primary, compared to just 2 percent for Pete Buttigieg, a millennial himself. Why do young people overwhelmingly support a 78-year-old Senator for president? To find out, Briahna spoke to some of the most politically engaged young people around, including the leadership of US Youth Climate Strike, the teenage masterminds of Mike Gravel's progressive presidential campaign, and Bernie 2020's own interns. Then, the campaign’s Relational Organizing Director, Emily Isaac, gives us a rundown of BERN 2.0, the campaign’s secret weapon for organizing the people in your life.

This past fall, educator and parent Emily Hoyler, took part in the Youth Climate Strike, along with her three children. They visited various protests in Vermont, and Emily interviewed some of the students she met at the protests. She asked them why they were there, what they hoped to achieve, and how this day of action related to their in-school lives. "I'm here because every morning I wake up afraid. And so knowing that so many other people feel the same thing? It makes me hopeful, for the first time in a long time." A full transcript is available at https://wp.me/p4r2oE-5Bc

The Global Climate Strikes that happened from 20-27 September 2019, inspired a record 7.6 million people to head into the streets and strike for climate action. The biggest climate mobilization in history. From Jakarta to New York, Karachi to Amman, Berlin to Kampala, Istanbul to Québec, Guadalajara to Asunción, in big cities and small villages, millions of people joined hands and raised their voices in defense of the climate. The Global Climate Strike shows that we have the people power we need to create a just world and end the era of fossil fuels. The September 20th Los Angeles Youth Climate Strike was organized by a coalition of groups and led by Youth Climate Strike Los Angeles. EcoJustice Radio's Jessica Aldridge and production team joined the action at Downtown LA's Pershing Square, where anywhere from 10-20,000 people gathered for speeches and music, and then all marched through the streets to City Hall. This caused absolute pandemonium on the crowded city streets, but all happened peacefully and with grace from all involved. Following are a sampling of the diverse voices out in the streets to demand climate action and an end to the fossil fueled business as usual that is destabilizing the global climate systems, with heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, destructive hurricanes, melting of glaciers, and methane feedback mechanisms spinning out of control. We have to act NOW!

When Greta Thunberg, 16, began her climate strike just over a year ago, she inspired young and old to take action on climate. Alexandria Villasenor, 14, of New York has joined the cause and has been striking from school every Friday since last December. Join Kait Parker as she talks to Alexandria, a leader of the Youth Climate Strike last month in New York, about what is driving the movement.

Many of us were inspired to see children marching in the Youth Climate Strike on 20th September, including in war-torn areas where they were putting their lives at risk in order to  to speak out.It’s hard to avoid the thought that the children are the adults, whilst the grown-ups are like children.On the other side, taking attention away from the children are the nay-sayers. Could it be that those adults who criticise cannot process their own feelings and have to get rid of the protesting children, sending them "back to school”? Verity Sharp and Caroline Hickman discuss this disturbing phenomenon.

Host Bella Isaacs attended this year’s Washtenaw County Youth Climate Strike on September 20 to record the speeches given by student activists on the University of Michigan’s campus. That strike was part of a movement inspired by Swedish climate activist Greta Thunburg, who encouraged other young activists around the world to demand that those in … Continue reading 2019 Youth Climate Strike →

When the adults are acting like children, the children sometimes have to step up to make change. Internationally, the subject of climate change, global warming, and the negative human impacts on the Earth are ignored. The scientists who are proving the facts are not being taken seriously by politicians and big business. The political authority is dominated by those who will die before climate change really takes place and as a result, the severity of the future of our planet is being jeopardized. We are the voters of tomorrow, and our voices should be heard. Join us today as we discuss the international youth climate strike that has taken the globe by storm. And, hear from some of the teens that will not be silenced until the earth's cries for help are silenced as well.

Students from about 150 countries are skipping class Friday with a goal of schooling government and business leaders around the world. The coordinated Youth Climate Strike is predicted to be the largest environmental action in history, and it's scheduled just days before a UN Climate Action Summit in New York City on Monday.

They stopped by On Second Thought Friday morning to preview the event and detail the students' list of demands .

The Youth Climate Strike will take place Friday in Georgia, other U.S. states and about 150 countries.

This episode is a little different than the rest. I'm joined with not just one guest but a multitude of very special ones- the students who demonstrated the power of their voice at yesterday's (March 15) Youth Climate Strike in New York City. The strike happened all around the world, where students walked out of schools in protest of the inaction of policymakers in regards to tackling the climate crisis. It started with Greta Thunberg, a now 17 year old Swedish girl, who sat on the steps of the Swedish Parliament's building every day for two weeks straight in lieu of going to school. To her, this was her way of teaching the adults something- that the youth want change and that they will make it known. At the march, I spoke to students ranging from nine to eighteen years old, as well as some adults. What was most striking was the simple candor of these children who have mobilized in such an inspiring way to give voice to the climate and environmental justice issues that they are concerned about. Listen to the full episode to hear a wide range of students speak their minds as well as some of the actions that they are already taking in their communities!Check out www.willingtowander.com to find additional pictures from the strike (taken by my friend Sophie) as well as links to climate action organizations that were also involved at the strike.

CNN releases oppo research dump on Bernie Sanders showing that he wanted to nationalize most industries in the 1970s, and that’s bad why? The House votes 420 - 0 on a resolution to make Mueller’s final report public. But, Lindsay Graham wants to throw his body in front of that bus and block the resolution from being taken up in the Senate. Manafort gets more jail time and his lawyer keeps lying. New York State drops new pardon-proof charges against Manafort moments after he was sentenced in federal court. 49 people dead and 48 injured in New Zealand as white nationalist terrorist opened fire on two mosques in Christchurch, the country’s third most populous city. It was the worst mass shooting in New Zealand history. The self-proclaimed fascist left behind a white nationalist manifesto and live streamed part of the shooting. And the breaking news this week that rich people are cheating the system to get their kids into top colleges and universities shocks...well, nobody really. Now we just have more concrete proof from the U.S. Department of Justice that the system is rigged. Big time. Chances are that you already know that Beto O’Rourke announced he is running for president. He hit social media hard as he hit the campaign trail in Iowa yesterday. He seems to be hoping that by performing excitement and positivity, he can avoid taking progressive positions - or any positions - on key policy issues such as Medicare for All. Beto’s entry into the race brings the total number of candidates to 17 with Uncle Joe expected to announce next week. And, if you care, Corey Booker is officially dating Rosario Dawson. Boeing grounded due to problems with their 737 Max that led the Ethiopian Airlines flight that killed the 157 people. Nancy Pelosi says she’s against impeaching Trump, just like she was against impeaching Bush because it “divides the country.” I think she got impeachment confused with the Mississippi River. Hundreds of thousands of students are walking out of school today as part of a global youth climate strike. They are taking to the streets to protest the failure of politicians to take the necessary actions to stave off a dystopian climate future. Organizing for coordinated strikes grew after the Swedish teenager, Greta Thunberg, held a solo protest outside the Swedish parliament last September. And, holy crap is Tucker Carlson a racist, sexist, asshole. Again, not exactly shocking. Democrats won two special elections on Tuesday night!  Larry Krasner staffer Movita Johnson-Harrell will become the first Muslim to ever serve in Pennsylvania and Bridget Malloy Kosierowski blew out the Old Forge Pizzagate loving Boomer Frank Scavo in a district that voted for Trump by 7%.   Pennsylvania House has officially introduced legislation to bail out the nuclear industry, which is creating lots of strange bedfellows on both sides of the issue. Lehigh University in Bethlehem is having its #MeToo moment as an associate professor files a federal lawsuit saying that she was used as a “sacrificial lamb to its own racial agenda” to appear more progressive than it was. “Lehigh sacrificed vulnerable young women, who they permitted to be abused because its image as an unbiased and racially diverse college was more important,” the suit alleges.

The SLS has missed several deadlines and with NASA’s goal of launching around the moon in June 2020, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine told the US Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation that the agency is now looking to private industries like Space X - even though they do not yet have a launch vehicle able to carry Orion to its lunar mission. New US/Russian Crew launches to the International Space Station from Kazakhstan on Pi Day! Two of the astronauts on this mission were on the aborted mid-flight launch last October. Elon Musk took to the LiveStream last night to unveil the latest TESLA vehicle. It’s a mid-sized SUV called the Model Y.  They will run $47,000 to $60,000 and offer more battery range. Those will ship starting in 2020. Workers at San Francisco’s Anchor Brewing vote to unionize! If all goes as planned, one of America’s first craft breweries could be members of the ILWU - the Longshoremen! We’ve got a list of Irish Craft Brews for you this St. Patrick’s Day weekend...if you can find them of course. Shippensburg University, with the help of a grant from the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, launches courses to support and train the state’s craft beer industry. For real!

Four of the Earth Guardians organization climate activists - people without solutions who demand someone else comes us with solutions, are getting press for their upcoming March 15, 2019 Climate Strike, getting youth to demand that Oasis-Crazy's Green's Newest Disaster get adopted. This is a ridiculous deal that won't achieve much of anything for a long time, while these same youth activists have been and continue to refuse to end global envir illiteracy, end our disposable society, gain individual cooperation, be leadership by example, hemp and last the clean energy that is in the ridiculous legislation they promote. So these youth activists are ridiculous and fraudulent, which I let them know in an email today. I also told them that since they continue to prevent real solutions from being implemented now, to drop their fraudulent climate case and close Earth Guardians doors.

Podcast producer Kristin Tieche was at the California Youth Climate Strike on March 15th, documenting this growing youth movement in support of the Green New Deal and immediate action to solve our climate crisis. To learn more check out Youth vs. Apocalypse:  http://youthvsapocalypse.org/
