Youth for Collective Climate Action - 23rd Popup

From Hope to Action: An Evening of Art + Storytelling with Youth

A storytelling and networking gathering centered on collective climate action.

Together, we’ll:

Story Circles – Gather in small groups to share stories of climate, community, and courage.

Echo Notes – Write your personal “Story of Light or Fight” on a card, then place it among the glowing paper lamps to become part of the art installation.

Story Swaps – Exchange your card with someone new to spark unexpected connections and conversations.

Light Together – Conclude by gathering around Echoes of Fight & Light — sculptural lamps crafted from unfired paper clay made with recycled paper, including shredded legal documents from environmental justice cases fought by Earthjustice. In this transformation, the remnants of advocacy — once words on paper fighting for environmental protection — become luminous vessels of collective hope.

Through storytelling, art, and playful participation, this gathering invites us to move from hope to action.

This event is made possible through the incredible partnership between:
