Connections: The New York Youth Climate Leaders

On Friday, students around the world will once against walk out of class to go on strike for climate action. Locally, a growing group of students is organizing in a new way. The group is launching a coalition of youth climate activist groups based in New York State; it will be called the New York Youth Climate Leaders or NY2CL for short. 

We discuss the goals and agenda of this new coalition. Our guests:

  • Hridesh Singh, Liam Smith, and Celia Darling from NY2CL
