Xiuhtezcatl Martinez

Three amazing young leaders will take the stage at the National Bioneers Conference in Marin and we will bring you all their talks at the Central Coast Bioneers Conference.

Our Generation Was Born to Change the World: Fourteen-year-old indigenous environmental activist and rapper Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, Youth Director of Earth Guardians, has organized rallies, actions, demonstrations and events and spoken globally. His generation is rising up to defend all our futures.

Why People Need to Get Arrested: The climate crisis requires bold action.  Arielle Klagsbrun, a leader of the “Take Back St. Louis” campaign to remove tax incentives to corporations profiting from climate change explores how to defeat the fossil fuel extraction industry.

Lessons from the Grassroots Climate Movement: Chloe Maxmin, an activist since age 12, co-founded Divest Harvard to pressure her college to disinvest from fossil fuel holdings, gaining international recognition for her effective activism.

Martinez’s address will be shown on Friday, October 24 and Klagsbrun and Maxmin will be shown on Saturday, October 25.
