In the lead up to the July 21st Youth Climate March in DC and nationwide, young activists from several organizations will participate in Sunday's Webinar, speaking out on concerns for their future in a world that is fast becoming increasingly dangerous from urgent climate change and gun violence.

Our young people are taking the lead in raising awareness and working for lasting change.

This Webinar, sponsored by Interfaith Moral Action on Climate, will give you the opportunity to hear from several of these courageous young people.
