Zanajee Artis, co-founder and executive director of Zero Hour, shares how this youth-led climate justice organization evolved from organizing mass protests to fighting systemic environmental injustice. Inspired by the impact of Hurricane Sandy on his Conneticust coastal hometown, he co-founded the international organization Zero Hour in 2017. Through education, policy advocacy, and grassroots organizing, Zero Hour works to phase out fossil fuels while addressing the interconnected issues of environmental racism and corporate influence.

In this episode, Zanagee shares insights on how climate change intersects with social movements like Black Lives Matter, immigration rights, and the fight for democracy, emphasizing the systemic nature of the crisis. We discuss the role of youth activism, the importance of education in countering misinformation, and the current battles against liquefied natural gas (LNG) expansion, oil and gas subsidies, and corporate influence in government. With the stakes higher than ever, this conversation highlights why young people are uniquely positioned to lead the charge for a more sustainable future and how you can get involved in the movement.
