Natalie Caine from Pour nos enfants/For Our Kids Montreal and Tarlan Razzaghi from For Our Kids Vancouver will share their thoughts about becoming climate activists in their communities and how each of us has a valuable contribution to make.

Marie-Eve Leclerc will share the story of Mères au front, a Quebec-based group started by a handful of mothers who came together through a mutual feeling of despair about the climate crisis, and which has grown to more than 3,000 members. You can find out more about the Green Heart campaign, on which For Our Kids is collaborating with Mères au front, here.

You’ll also hear an inspiring message by Mackenzie Harris, a student activist and national organizer with Climate Strike Canada Mackenzie is a graduate student at the University of Guelph, Ontario and is currently working on local-level climate and social justice issues with Fridays for Future Guelph.
