“no justice, no sleep\u201d was one of the signature chants sung last week at the march to end all fossil fuels, but this line represents a subtle, yet frustrating, truth about youth-led climate action \u2013 making time for rest and reflection can feel cumbersome when trying to address the climate crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

how can you expect to chug along with your work, your relationships, and your hobbies when you see your community suffering? the summer began with new york city looking like a martian wasteland due to forest fires in canada and ended with mass flooding and torrential rainfall. this whiplash is exhausting to experience, especially when you are not seeing tangible steps to meet the moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

this emotional whiplash existed long before i called myself a climate activist. for me, gun violence impressed upon me the importance of grassroots mobilization. i remember the lockdown drills going back to when i was just 12 years old after the utterly tragic sandy hook elementary school shooting in newtown, connecticut during the holiday season in 2012. at the time i treated it like a fire drill rather than acknowledge that it was an abdication of responsibility by the adults in positions of power to take a more proactive approach to ending the violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

flash forward to the end of high school, this violence did not cease and it reached a boiling point my senior year. one of the first protests i remember attending was the national school walkout on march 14th, 2018. after the stoneman douglas high school shooting in parkland florida a month earlier, thousands of high school students across the country banded together to take the streets demanding congress and the trump administration do more. there are few moments in my life where i saw so much anger and fear blossomed into dignity and purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

maximizing impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

the march to end fossil fuels arrived the same week as both nyc climate week and the united nations general assembly. the convening of global leaders came at the same time as youth climate advocates demanded ocean rights and called for climate justice in the food systems. these takeaways struck a chord with me as climate advocacy must embrace systems-level change to be considered both just and transformational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the nutrition and food studies program at new york university and food tank hosted a series of discussions with industry leaders, youth advocates, former policymakers, artists, un officials, and students. at \u201cfood and agriculture as a solution to climate change,\u201d i learned about the role that sustainable and nutritious food systems must play in climate action moving forward, including technological integration, human rights-centered policy, and political leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n

it was rewarding to see my classmates sofia jimenez saborit and sasha dubose present their research and share the stage as visionaries for environmental justice in food systems. i also had the chance to officially meet food tank team members ian smith and liza greene in person for the first time. as a graduate student wrapping up my final semester and a former intern with food tank, the coalescence of my professional and academic experiences the past year helped me prepare for the march.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

it was truly an honor to meet journalist michael pollan and watch an early screening of food inc. 2, a damning documentary that pollan produced, that uncovers how broken the american food system is for consumers, farmers, and the planet. storytelling is a balancing act of creativity and insight, narrative building to break down the consequences of our industrial food system, and contemplating more economically and ecologically sustainable pathways to sustain us as a society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

a march by everyone, for everyone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

leading up to the day of the march these ideas of grassroots communities, structural barriers to action, feelings of inadequacy, and fears of political complacency swirled in my mind like the jet streams zooming across the world\u2019s oceans. the extreme heat sweltering the world this summer compounded the mounting feeling in my core that government officials need to start acting like public servants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

that morning i was grateful to design posters with other young activists with time for a better future, chatting about what brought us to new york. the irony of putting pen to recycled amazon cardboard boxes did not escape us, but neither did our resolve to do more than make noise. we were primed to build on the success of nyu students\u2019 successful divestment campaign, pushing institutions to be allies rather than obstacles to the movement.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

then there was the march itself. the crowds of parents, siblings, and children joined forces with activists, researchers, and students. it was less of a protest and more of an epic crossover event where excitement and comradery triumphed. young climate leaders that i met in miami earlier this year traveled across the country to stand in solidarity. representative alexandria ocasio-cortez called for the biden administration to stand by its commitments. live music harped on both the hopelessness and silver linings of coming of age during the climate crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i took this energy to the united nations when, the very next day, i learned about the years-long campaign to declare universal ocean rights. it was a privilege to go from demonstrating in the streets to hearing from elected officials from cabo verde and panama on their successful policies to codify marine biodiversity protections. climate action means threading between the grassroots and working within existing power structures to make our voices heard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

creating lasting change<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

grassroots and institutional advocacy play hand-in-hand. this realization would have felt quite absurd if i tried communicating with my high school self. if our voices matter so much to other students, then why are our calls not reverberating in public discourse beyond thinly veiled attempts to signal support without amounting to any concrete actions? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

in spite of this nagging anxiety that our chants fall on indifferent ears, young people in fact can <\/em>play a pivotal impact in making change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

on september 21st, the united states joined eighty-one nations and the european union signed the high seas treaty, leading to the codification of ocean rights protections at the international level. days after the march, the biden administration announced the creation of the american climate corps to train tens of thousands of young people in climate resilience and development jobs in the coming years. action is following after years of rhetoric and pleading, and youth are just getting started. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

eastern culture. i was born and raised in new york city (manhattan and queens). this fall, i will be pursuing a m.a. in food studies (policy, cultural analysis, and social entrepreneurship) at new york university steinhardt school of culture, education, and human development.\u00a0 i have engaged in a variety of interdisciplinary environmental research projects with f&m professors, such as the environmental migration lab with professor eric hirsch\u00a0and the sustainable food systems working group with professors eve bratman and patrick fleming. in my first year, i assisted in the foundation of the environmental migration lab alongside over a dozen other students, interviewing and transcribing conversations from immigrants, refugees and organizations such as church world service lancaster and casa pa\u00a0as well as designing environmental impact surveys in order to compile quantifiable data on the effects of climate change and its associated political, ecological, social, and economic impacts. additionally, as a third year, i coordinated and co-drafted a proposal to the educational policy committee to establish a sustainable food systems program within f&m's earth and natural environment department in order to engage the student body within the local food system. as an undergraduate student, i delved into ecological and socio-environmental advocacy at various levels of governance and reach. within lancaster county, i helped plant native tree saplings, remove invasive species from streams within the chesapeake bay watershed and co-drafted a science literacy pamphlet for the amish farming community as a project intern with the alliance for the chesapeake bay. i also led social media and lobbying efforts\u00a0for the local citizens' climate lobby chapter, an organization that\u00a0\u00a0provides resources and workshops to enable local communities to engage in politics, reach out to their elected officials and become agents\u00a0of change. i organized get-out-the-vote campaigns between ccl lancaster, environmental voter project, and postcards to swing states alongside climate activist james \\\"jim\\\" sandoe in order to reach out to first-time voters ahead of the 2020 u.s. presidential election to register to vote for climate action. during my junior and senior years, i interned for the re-election campaign of former pa treasurer joe torsella as a campaign finance intern. during this experience, i learned the ins and outs of state-wide political campaigns within the democratic party while also gaining valuable experience processing data and donations from climate and environmental political action committees and donors. the culmination of my advocacy, research, and journalism efforts has resulted in the formation of the greenzine, a resource and publishing hub redefining the public's perceptions around climate change, climate action and environmentalism. our work is interdisciplinary, intersectional, and multimedia in that it covers multiple subject areas, involves various aspects of identity, and intends to reach people where they're at in terms of their learning style! it started as a monthly newsletter when i served as the social media chair and president of the student-run environmental action alliance and fair trade cafe, and has gone on to blossom into an international, grassroots platform for the planet and people reaching dozens of countries, institutions, and communities. if you are interested in joining the team or pitching a collaboration\/story idea, please consider filling out this brief survey. if you do not have the time to join, please consider supporting us through our patreon. currently, my main focuses are on bridging together consumers and producers within our food systems so that we can foster a deeper consciousness and connection between built and natural environments. i intend to this by hosting in-person educational events and community-centric activities while i work as an in-house gardener\u00a0and barista at a\u00a0queens-based cafe called elevenses. alongside building up the greenzine platform, i will be writing remotely about environmental ethics and related issues\u00a0for a uk-based, gen z-led media organization called thred. i also work part-time at a\u00a0martial arts studio called modern martial arts nyc that i have trained at throughout my childhood and into adulthood.\",\"url\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/author\/max-sano\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ yoast seo plugin.

social, and economic impacts. additionally, as a third year, i coordinated and co-drafted a proposal to the educational policy committee to establish a sustainable food systems program within f&m's earth and natural environment department in order to engage the student body within the local food system. as an undergraduate student, i delved into ecological and socio-environmental advocacy at various levels of governance and reach. within lancaster county, i helped plant native tree saplings, remove invasive species from streams within the chesapeake bay watershed and co-drafted a science literacy pamphlet for the amish farming community as a project intern with the alliance for the chesapeake bay. i also led social media and lobbying efforts\u00a0for the local citizens' climate lobby chapter, an organization that\u00a0\u00a0provides resources and workshops to enable local communities to engage in politics, reach out to their elected officials and become agents\u00a0of change. i organized get-out-the-vote campaigns between ccl lancaster, environmental voter project, and postcards to swing states alongside climate activist james \"jim\" sandoe in order to reach out to first-time voters ahead of the 2020 u.s. presidential election to register to vote for climate action. during my junior and senior years, i interned for the re-election campaign of former pa treasurer joe torsella as a campaign finance intern. during this experience, i learned the ins and outs of state-wide political campaigns within the democratic party while also gaining valuable experience processing data and donations from climate and environmental political action committees and donors. the culmination of my advocacy, research, and journalism efforts has resulted in the formation of the greenzine, a resource and publishing hub redefining the public's perceptions around climate change, climate action and environmentalism. our work is interdisciplinary, intersectional, and multimedia in that it covers multiple subject areas, involves various aspects of identity, and intends to reach people where they're at in terms of their learning style! it started as a monthly newsletter when i served as the social media chair and president of the student-run environmental action alliance and fair trade cafe, and has gone on to blossom into an international, grassroots platform for the planet and people reaching dozens of countries, institutions, and communities. if you are interested in joining the team or pitching a collaboration\/story idea, please consider filling out this brief survey. if you do not have the time to join, please consider supporting us through our patreon. currently, my main focuses are on bridging together consumers and producers within our food systems so that we can foster a deeper consciousness and connection between built and natural environments. i intend to this by hosting in-person educational events and community-centric activities while i work as an in-house gardener\u00a0and barista at a\u00a0queens-based cafe called elevenses. alongside building up the greenzine platform, i will be writing remotely about environmental ethics and related issues\u00a0for a uk-based, gen z-led media organization called thred. i also work part-time at a\u00a0martial arts studio called modern martial arts nyc that i have trained at throughout my childhood and into adulthood.","url":"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/author\/max-sano\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33961"}],"collection":[{"href":"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9840"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33961"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33961\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33961"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33961"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33961"},{"taxonomy":"storyfest_categories","embeddable":true,"href":"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/storyfest_categories?post=33961"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
