Facing a longer, hotter future: a visit with high school climate activists

Jefferson Exchange, Monday October 17 2022

Mira Saturen and Te Maia Wiki are two students at Ashland High School taking part in climate action demonstrations.
There’s an additional wrinkle for Te Maia Wiki, part of a worldwide movement of indigenous youth to urge climate action.

The students visit with writer Barbara Cervone, who has worked closely with them.
