TAKE ACTION

Thank you for your interest in taking action! Here are some things YOU can do to support our work and the young people standing up for their rights to a livable future. 

  1. CELEBRATE JULIANA v. U.S. - 10 years of Impact: Help us celebrate the 21 Juliana plaintiffs and their landmark case that sparked the youth climate rights movement and led the way for youth plaintiffs across the nation and world who now carry the torch they ignited! On March 24, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case. Read about Juliana’s legacy on our blog. 

    If Juliana has inspired you in any way, we want to hear and share your story. Film a short 30-60 second selfie video, and either send it to us at info@ourchildrenstrust.org or post it on Instagram and tag or send us an invitation to collaborate at @youthvgov! See example videos from Ella, Drew from 198Methods, and Julie and Delaney from Reynolds v. Florida Public Service Commission.

  2. Support Settlement Implementation: Are you a community member or organization interested in participating in the work to come under the Settlement Agreement in Navahine v. Hawai‘i DOT? Sign up to receive updates and information on opportunities. 

  3. Join our online mailing list to get urgent calls to action to support, advocate, and speak out for and with these amazing young climate leaders!

  4. Donate today! We provide expert legal representation and support to our youth plaintiffs around the world, all at no cost to them or their families. Invest in our efforts and become a part of this durable solution to the climate crisis!

  5. Attend an event! Our Children’s Trust hosts in-person and online events throughout the year where you can hear from attorneys, partners, experts, and youth plaintiffs on topics like breaking news, new case developments, and ways you can support our groundbreaking youth-led constitutional climate litigation. Check out the bottom of our homepage to discover upcoming opportunities to participate! To request a speaker for an upcoming event, please submit this form.

  6. Watch + share short climate animation: Watch this short animation - less than 3 minutes long! - on why 1.5°C is a deadly, and inaccurate, target for climate action…and what we should be doing instead! Then share it with your government representatives, demanding they rely on science, not political compromise when they write or sponsor climate legislation. (Animation also available with captions)
