Youth volunteers join YVA crews to plan school strikes and street rallies demanding an end to fossil fuels (e.g. campaigns like #NoCoalInOakland), create hip-hop and art centered on climate justice for YVA’s cultural programs, and pressure local officials and corporations (as they did successfully to stop a proposed coal terminal in West Oakland). Adult allies can volunteer as chaperones, provide training or transportation, and amplify youth demands without taking the microphone.
