17 of the Canadian Youth Delegation just arrived in Paris for the COP 21 United Nations climate negotiations. The negotiations began tonight, and we are feeling apprehensive but hopeful.
Our Prime Minister promised us real change, not climate change -- and we’re ready to hold him to it. During his short time in Paris, we call on Justin Trudeau, our Minister of Youth, to take the time to meet with us and hear our concerns.
We need your help to make this meeting happen.

Hey all you dreamers and redeemers out there,
As COP21 kicked off last Saturday, hundreds of thousands of people around the world took to the streets. Our friends at Brandalism filled Paris with subversive ads calling out the corporate takeover of the conference and 350.org set the tone: keep the fossil fuels in the ground and finance a just transition to 100% renewable energy by 2050!

Holiday Appeal
Dear Friend,

Climate change knows no national boundaries, no continent or nation has been spared from its effects. The safety and security of hundreds of millions of people are at risk.
As you know, we have but a short...
