A Youth Voice in Climate Justice: The Held v. Montana Case

In advance of the exciting featured speaker at the Evening for the Environment – Phil Gregory, co-counsel for Our Children’s Trust – youth plaintiff Grace Gibson-Snyder will join us to bring her story to life. In landmark climate cases, youth plaintiffs are taking a stand for climate justice. Grace is one of the young people represented by Our Children’s Trust in the Held v. State of Montana lawsuit. Grace will share her firsthand experience as a plaintiff: agreeing to participate, testifying at trial, and becoming a voice for youth in the climate movement. The Held case challenges state support for fossil fuels and seeks to affirm the young people’s constitutional right to a “clean and healthful” environment. Tune in to hear Grace’s inspiring story of youth activism and the power of young voices in shaping the future.
