Dear John,

CJA’s newest video: Frontline Youth: Fighting for Climate Justice is out and we’re sharing it with you first!

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day and 528 years of Colonialism. It also signals the acceleration of some of the most systemic challenges that we and future generations will face in our lifetimes with the rise of right wing threats, the decline of our ecological balance and a historically unprecedented roll back of over 95 federal environmental regulations. We know who suffers most from water, land, and climate pollution. That’s why it is important that Black and Brown youth speak for themselves to tell their stories as a part of an intergenerational movement for liberation from all extractive systems and industries. 

Will you join us in helping to spread their important message for climate justice? Take a few minutes to watch the video and share it with your friends, family and networks. It’s quick and easy to do with our Social Media Toolkit. In just a few clicks you can help amplify the voices of frontline youth today! And don’t forget to use the hashtag #FrontlineYouth when you do! 

This 7 minute video showcases the beauty and joy of young people who come from a long legacy of intergenerational leadership grounded in community. They are fighting against the culprits of climate change and climate destruction in their own communities, and winning! Frontline youth are also an integral part of the creative and innovative solutions to the climate crisis that are grounded in our communities’ cultural practices and reclaiming the traditions of our ancestors. In Frontline Youth: Fighting for Climate Justice you’ll learn more about what climate justice means to them and get a glimpse into their lives and struggle for a better world.

Special thanks to filmmaker Jihan Hafiz, who filmed and produced this video, and to the CJA members who appear in it, especially UPROSE for enabling us to capture the inspiration, voices and vision of frontline youth of color during the 7th annual Climate Justice Youth Summit.

Thanks for continuing to support young leaders on the frontlines of the climate crisis.
