Every year, the Brower Youth Awards recognizes the work of six young leaders for their accomplishments in the environmental movement.
We’ll be joined by three of this year's winners. They focus on climate justice, fossil fuel divestment, sustainability, food, and agriculture. How are the next generation of environmental activists helping their communities and what policy changes would they like to see? Join the conversation on the next Your Call, with Matt Martin, and you.
Guests:
Anthony Torres, political ecologist, climate activist, and associate campaign representative at the Sierra Club
Charlie Jiang, co-founder of The DC ReInvest Coalition
Dejah Powell, senior at Cornell University, and founder of Get Them to the Green
