Nurturing Activist Love: Strategies for Cultivating and Sustaining Youth Climate Justice Organizing.

The article focuses on the concept of "activist love" as a framework for sustaining youth-led movements for climate justice, particularly in the context of the global climate strikes of September 2019. It emphasizes the importance of equipping young activists with tools to navigate emotional challenges related to climate grief and anxiety, while advocating for educational approaches that address systemic causes of the climate crisis. The author outlines four axioms of activist love: a labor of the self, a practice of relationality, a radical trust, and a rootedness in temporality, each serving as a guide for both organizing and educational practices. The piece ultimately calls for continuous engagement in climate justice efforts, highlighting the potential for joy and transformative change amidst ongoing challenges. [Extracted from the article]
