Jamie Margolin, climate activist and founder of Zero Hour describes how we are all needed in the work of solving climate change:
“Well, I always describe the movement as an ecosystem. You know, in the forest, the birds, the worms, the trees, they all serve their own unique purpose. They work together and they can’t replace each other, but they work in harmony with each other. And so I would say find what you’re already good at. If you’re really good at technology or computer programming, if you’re really good at art or music or dance, if you’re really good at reading and writing, find what it is that you’re really good at and apply that skill to the movement. Because we need artists in this movement, we need people who know about technology in this movement, we need organizers, we need writers, we need all of the different talents in the movement. So I’d say find what you already do, what you’re already good at, and apply that into an organizational space.”
