Lia Harel, 18, co-founded and organizes Minnesota Can’t Wait, a youth-led movement pushing for bold climate action. She became an organizer three years ago, recognizing climate change's broad societal impacts.

Frustrated, she joined other youth activists in summer 2018 to demand Minnesota lead on climate policies, forming Minnesota Can’t Wait, reflecting their urgency. The movement united diverse groups—including Indigenous communities and business leaders—around three core demands: no new fossil fuel infrastructure, statewide greenhouse gas regulation, and supporting the Minnesota Green New Deal Bill. They organized rallies, testified, and helped draft legislation, aiming to shift conversations and elevate expectations for a just, sustainable economy.
