­­Youth Versus Apocalypse (YVA) is a diverse group of young climate activists working together to lift the voices of youth, particularly youth of colour and working-class youth. Their collective action aims to fight for a livable climate and an equitable, sustainable, and just world.

Aniya Butler is a 15-year-old spoken word poet, a Lead Circle member at YVA, the coordinator of the "Hip Hop for Climate Justice" initiative, and a member of the organizational management team .

This week we spoke with her and dove into the necessary actions that she and YVA are taking to protect their community, the climate and the future.

We had an honest discussion ranging from the difficulties of being a youth activist to poetry, passion and Aniya’s hopes for the future.
