I used to feel really alone. Though no one was ever alone in this venture of protecting our world; indigenous peoples have always been defending the Earth. There are so many movements, organisations, community efforts and activists that the media has never covered, but who have changed the face of this Earth for the better. I’ve never been alone in our struggle, but back in 2017 when we started the #ThisIsZeroHour movement, it sure felt like it. This was long before Greta Thunberg did her first strike. Long before the Green New Deal took off in the USA. I was a scared 15-year-old trying to do my part to stop the climate crisis. We had no money, no notoriety, and yet the movement we young women of colour started was the first domino that led to the mainstreaming of high school climate justice activism.
