Defend Our Future is trying something new. We're tired of waiting for action on climate change – so we're challenging individuals to take action themselves. This new approach is for the doers, the solvers, and the innovators who want to change the world around us, rather than sitting on the sidelines hoping someone else will act.
Defend Our Future is mobilizing young people to take simple but substantive actions to prevent climate change from being the biggest disaster affecting our generation. We can't wait for our leaders so we're looking for students who are ready to accept the challenge to implement real climate solutions personally and on their campuses.
As a non-partisan, non-profit organization, we engage a wide and diverse range of supporters, regardless of political or ideological affiliation.
