Striking Today & Voting Tomorrow: How Youth Activists are tackling the climate crisis.
Howard Zinn said, "People in all countries need the spirit of disobedience", and that "once they organize and protest and create movements—have a voice no government can suppress". High school students like Iman Mannathukkaren are doing exactly that. Concerned about the the world that they are going to inherit, and ready to talk to the highest offices in the land to demand a carbon-free economy, students are quickly becoming that force that no governments can suppress. So what do they want, and what will they do? Iman Mannathukkaren is a grade 12 student who is passionate about climate justice. Her articles have appeared in The Wire and American Kahani. She joins GDP this week to share experience as an activist and an organizer for climate justice.
