In this clip, Diana Yoon explains that while we may feel powerless against climate change from time to time; we must continue to support each other in our fight for climate justice from our elected officials. She also lists examples of some recent wins from people-powered groups on the front lines of the climate crisis.

Diana Yoon is a climate and housing justice activist based in Toronto. Her work is on the intersection of climate mitigation and affordable housing. Formerly, she was the Geography grad student department steward for CUPE3903.
