Jessica talks with Shirley Barnea, the 19-year old organizer of the Fridays for the Future protests in Montréal which brought out thousands of people. They discuss protesting at a Environment Minister's press conference, how to combat doom-ism about the climate, recipes, and the Future of Fridays for the Future.

Shirley recently became our Québec Chapter Director at Sierra Club Canada.
