Artemisio Romero y Carver, 18

Pushing for smart climate policy. In the summer of 2019, artist, poet, and organizer Artemisio Romero y Carver helped to found Youth United for Climate Crisis Action (YUCCA), a youth-led nonprofit that advances climate justice, democracy, and civil rights. Today its members and staff work to hold this country’s elected officials accountable for the health of the planet, future generations, and BIPOC communities. Read more about Artemisio Romero y Carver's work here.



Alexandria Gordon, 21

Inspiring campuses to go plastic-free. During her second week at Eckerd College, Alexandria Gordon began working with the student-run nonprofit Florida PIRG to register young people to vote. Her efforts helped increase voter turnout by 350 percent at her local precinct during the 2018 midterm elections. Encouraged by this success, Gordon decided to use her new organizing skills to address environmental problems, so she launched a campaign through Florida PIRG to get the college to sign the “Break Free From Plastic Pledge” and eliminate all nonessential single-use plastics on campus. Read more about Alexandria Gordon's work here.
