    Advisor
    Reverse The Trend Aug 2021 - Present
    New York, United States
    I am pleased to join a diverse global team advising RTT on very important international issues and mobilising youth across the globe for action and advocacy on such issues. For years now, youth have been speaking out about climate change and have been demanding action from leaders as this is an existential threat that requires immediate attention. Unfortunately, their plea for action has fallen on deaf ears. While youth are passionate about the issues of climate change and nuclear disarmament, the tools for effective mobilization are missing. What the youth need are direct pathways to engage with global leaders.To address the environmental catastrophe of nuclear weapons, this project engages youth by providing educational resources to understand the intersecting nature of these twin existential threats; encourage movement building through art; and create opportunities to share their local histories/stories in public and policy spaces. Our motto is youth must rise up and take action to change the world. This is the inaugural program of Youth Empowerment and Uprising: Center on Global Security, Law, and Sustainable Development.
