Last year, Dejah Powell founded Get Them to the Green (G2G) to foster environmental passion among Chicago youth, especially youth of color. G2G's first initiative was a summer camp, engaging 14 young people in environmental justice, sustainability, and food agriculture.

G2G has since partnered with Gardenneers to build a school garden at Powell’s elementary school, providing hands-on outdoor education. The organization also conducts environmental education workshops throughout the city.

Now a Cornell senior, Powell believes understanding environmental problems is key to solving them. She hopes urban environmental education will improve eco-literacy and help under-resourced communities access vital local and global conversations.

Arissa Jemaima (23) and Davina Devarajan (25) founded Women For Refugees (WFR), an NGO dedicated to empowering refugee women. Recognizing that these women are disenfranchised by policy gaps and social stigmas, lacking avenues for their voices, skills, and opportunities, WFR provides a grassroots platform, equipping them to become formidable community leaders.

Often, young people are overlooked in social change. However, Arissa and Davina champion community impact through grassroots initiatives, believing significant change begins with the courage to start from scratch. This story was shared at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Called "the voice of the resistance" by The New York Times, writer and activist Rebecca Solnit discussed her view that the future hinges on present action to counter institutional inertia and fossil fuel interests. She emphasized moving from climate despair to possibility, drawing from her book *Not Too Late: Changing the Climate Story from Despair to Possibility*.

Solnit was joined by co-editor and climate activist Thelma Young Lutunatabua and native Fijian Fenton Lutunatabua (participating virtually).
