Raina Maiga, 16, an asylum seeker, ensures youth voices influence policy, driven by her experience of powerlessness. As Executive Director of Confront the Climate Crisis, an Indiana youth environmental organization, she leads legislative efforts.

Under Maiga, the group co-wrote and lobbied for two state bills (2022-2023) creating a climate solutions task force. They also held Statehouse events, educating youth and fostering legislator discussions. Maiga secured $20,000 yearly grants, removing financial barriers for student attendance.

Though state bills didn't pass, Confront the Climate Crisis now helps students enact local climate resolutions with city councils, adding to ten youth-written resolutions in Indiana, advocated for with Earth Charter Indiana.
