Bringing Back Our Climate Our Future Live

Rebecca Anderson, Chief Education and Research Officer

In 2008, before ACE became Action for the Climate Emergency and back when we were Alliance for Climate Education, our primary objective was to educate as many high school students as possible about the climate crisis by going to schools and delivering assemblies. We visited schools all across the country: Sacramento, Las Vegas, Chicago, Dallas, New York, Cincinnati, New York City, Boston and more. In just a few short years, we had reached 2 million students with the ACE Assembly.

About 10 years later, ACE and I would reunite on several occasions to continue amplifying the voices of young people in the climate movement.
