We work with the student-led Fridays For Future movement, other youth and community organizations, our cities, counties, other local governmental bodies and community to:

• Network with other parents, neighbors, teachers, community organizations, news organizations and opinion makers

• Become active in your local government, continuing our work in getting your local city governments to act on the Climate and Ecological Emergency

News about the developing climate and ecological breakdown we are witnessing. 

The cities of Miami Beach, Miami, Surfside,  Coral Gables, and Palmetto Bay have passed resolutions calling for a Climate Emergency. We are working with these cities to implement policies that reduce emissions in line with the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement, and with other cities in South Florida to follow in their footsteps. We are also working with the Miami-Dade County, the Miami-Dade School Board and other local governments to take similar actions.
