“As a young person, I feel compelled to fight against climate change, but I do
so not out of fear but out of unfailing hope, out of a definitive optimism that
we can stop climate change and in the process bring about a wealth of positive
change for everyone on this planet. The political system we have in place may
not be perfect, but if we're going to make real change, we're going to have to
work with it. Our politicians need to know that our earth is non-negotiable and
we need strong action now." -JP Kemmick, Pierce Conservation Voters
