JULIANA TOLOZA SERNA and RAAJASVI THAKKER
Juliana Raajasvi
Fighting for Climate Action in New York Juliana and Raajasvi pushed for action to stop the Iroquois pipeline expansion and worked to get the Climate Change Super- fund Act signed into law, which Governor Hochul did right before the new year. “This experience taught me how to research my representatives and hold them accountable, and I got better at creating goal-based strategies that had different tactics and a comprehensive timeline. I loved connecting with people
while petitioning and rallying, and it was great seeing them at other events knowing I helped mobilize them.” — Juliana “I learned how to collect signatures, phone bank, and make flyers for events, and improved my outreach and communication skills. I enjoyed the community of activists and the culture of social change that you engage in to accomplish things. I was most proud of the amount of signatures I collected!” — Raajasvi
We need young activists more than ever in our ongoing fight for a livable future. Thank you for training our food, water, and climate leaders of tomorrow!
ISABELLA MOELLER Winning Affordable, Clean Energy for Floridians
Rising temperatures and climate-fueled disas- ters are making electricity more expensive than ever. Hillsborough County, Florida residents have been hit particularly hard. Isabella worked on a local measure focused on climate and utility affordability. “I’m most proud of my work drafting a business sign-on letter to my county commissioners, and business canvassing in my county. Most impor- tantly, I enjoyed doing meaningful work that benefits local communities and the environment and that inspires others to advocate for them- selves and their community.”
