Youth4Climate December Newsletter

Dear ,

Happy December! As we reflect on the results of the recent election, one thing is clear: now is the time to turn momentum into action. Together, we must continue holding our elected officials accountable and push for stronger climate policies in California and beyond.

Over the coming weeks, we'll focus on building community support, amplifying climate justice, and applying pressure to ensure our leaders prioritize sustainability and equity. If you're ready to take the next step, read further and respond to this email to learn how you can get more involved with Youth4Climate.

It’s not because I care any less about the climate crisis or the state of human rights, but because I made a conscious decision to disentangle my hope from the outside forces that threaten to crush it.
I want to share a bit about my journey of overcoming climate anxiety to hopefully help others with similar struggles...
