Donate to the Youth Direct Action Fund
Please donate any amount to directly support youth activists and organizers! Every dollar raised will go toward supporting youth-led grassroots local initiatives. Set up in September 2019 in support of the Climate Strike, the Youth Direct Action Fund (YDAF) collects funds from individuals, organizations, and businesses who wish to directly support youth activists across the country.
As young people, we will face the increasingly dangerous effects of climate change over our lifetimes. But the climate crisis doesn’t affect everyone equally. Climate change disproportionately impacts low-income communities and people of color in this country — as we engage with the climate crisis, we must also fight against racial injustice and economic inequality. We’re committed to supporting youth organizers pushing for climate justice, racial justice, economic equality, and other causes that impact our generation.
