Next week, Americans will be voting in a historic election. Not only for their own country but also for the future of the world. As author Mary Heglar puts it "The Whole World is on the Ballot".  As history's biggest polluter and current 2nd largest contributor to climate change, these elections really are a make or break for humanity's future on a liveable future (yep, that dramatic).

To understand what's at stake with these elections, what 4 years of Trump in the White House meant for the environment but also for BIPOC and underprivileged communities, what another term would entail but also what it means to be a youth climate justice activist and whether Biden is the candidate we need for radical climate action, we talked to Gavriela Reiter and Aneesa Khan from SustainUS. 

We also address the importance of intersectional policies and why the social and climate movements in the US are a source of hope for the fight we have to lead!

SustainUS is a youth-led organization advancing justice and sustainability by empowering young people to engage in advocacy.
