Zora Wallace, United States, California
Message of support: What you're doing is amazing and important. I feel like whatever I write isn't enough, but I want to say that this case is huge and everything you're doing is incredible. We youth are often ignored or pushed aside. I find myself feeling helpless when facing the world's problems because we can't vote and we're so easy to disregard. The people in charge will die, the behind the companies causing the most pollution will die, and us, our generation, those who are younger than us, and those who have yet to be born, will have to deal with these problems and suffer the consequences. The people in change think they don't have to care because they won't have to live through these effects but we will. We already are. So what you're doing is so amazing. Thank you for fighting for the rights of youth and for our future. The adults are taking the possibility of a happy and healthy life away from us and we won't sit back and let that happen.

Message of support: Climate recovery has quietly become solvable - the science, technology, and economics are clear. But we need a climate recovery plan and the safe space for our politicians to act. Your case is creating that space, and whatever the court decides, you have already begun to shift what is possible in Canadian climate policy. As Margaret Mead said: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." We support you and thank you for your courage.
