After 7 years of activism, we understood the important role the youth have in environmental preservation and that a greater impact can be created when groups of aligned people collaborate and support each other. Years before we landed on this idea, we started “Fridays for Future, Ecuador” (FFF) with the help of other leaders in this community. My time as an activist in previous collectives gave me the experience and necessary tools to make this a successful program. As a result, we organized and participated in talks to over 2000 students in Ecuador, bringing them closer to the gravity of climate change. In 2019, we organized and joined the Global Climate Strike. Over 5,000 people marched in various cities across the country, united over the goal to make our voices heard by every local government. We wanted to see change in policies and real immediate actions to save the
environment.
