Earth Guardians has partnered with Amplifier to share new icons of strong youth leaders with school kids - and provide a curriculum of teaching tools for their classrooms

The Education Amplifier program We The Future provides an opportunity for educators to bring Amplifier’s art, lesson plans and resources into classrooms across the country to facilitate dialogue about social justice issues.

With over 2,500 registered teachers in every state of the U.S., Amplifier's 2017 pilot program brought topics around privilege, identity, addressing racism and teaching tolerance into schools.

Through a monthly webinar, resource email, free art and lesson plans built in collaboration with partners to bring this work into the classrooms, Amplifier is providing critical and requested support to help teachers inspire the future leaders of our country.

Earth Guardians Youth Director Xiuhtezcatl Martinez is one of the ten young leaders depicted in the icons artwork being shared to inspire the next generation of young leaders. Earth Guardians is working in collaboration with Amplifier to bring our own curriculum to over 20,000 schools.

YouthvGov Lawsuit: Kids suing to protect our Future

Youth are suing the government for failing to act on climate change 

Earth Guardians and 21 youth plaintiffs are suing the federal government for the right to clean air, clean water, and a healthy future. These young leaders have created a wave of action as their case advances through the courts.

"The future of our generation is at stake" -Earth Guardian & YouthvGov plaintiff Victoria Barrett

"People label our generation as dreamers, but hope is not the only tool we have. I am a teenager. I want to do what I love and live a life full of opportunities. I want the generation that follows to have the same chance. I absolutely refuse to let our government's harmful action, corporate greed, and the pure denial of climate science get in the way of that. If anything, I'm going to use my positive energy to show my government that I won't let my world stop for them. WE won't let our world stop for them. Our generation will continue to be a force for the world."

Update on the app: We are working on making the best app possible and we’re so thankful for the constant support and understanding. At the moment, there is no release date due to additional features being added, but it’s coming!! Keep sharing and telling others about Earth Tracks: the Fitbit for the planet. Continue to check our social media platforms and email inbox. We’re so excited!
CHANGING TACTICS IN THE FACE OF CLIMATE EMERGENCY 72% of Americans agree: climate change is an emergency. We must protect the Earth and each other. Come hear from leading climate experts about what we need to do on a mass scale to address it before it’s too late. WHEN: Thursday, Jan. 31st 6:30-8:30 PM EST WHERE: New York Society for Ethical Culture 2 W 64th St, New York, New York 10023 #EarthGuardians #OurChildrensTrust #climatechange #stateofemergency #protecttheearth #protecteachother #standup #comesupport
In 2013, Colorado youth plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) which permits fracking in Colorado. The plaintiffs argued that the COGCC should halt permitting “unless the best available science demonstrates, and an independent, third-party organization confirms, that drilling can occur in a manner that does not … impair Colorado’s atmosphere, water, wildlife, and land resources, does not adversely impact human health, and does not contribute to climate change.” After five years in court, the judges ruled against the youth on January 15th, 2019 and the case was laid to rest. The justices stated they would be “limited and highly deferential” in their review of an agency’s rule-making process, and added that the commission was already working with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. The justices also wrote that by law, the commission cannot condition each new drilling permit on its impacts to public health and the environment because the commission is “required to foster the development of oil and gas resources, protecting and enforcing the rights of owners and producers, and in doing so, to prevent and mitigate significant adverse environmental impacts to the extent necessary to protect public health, safety, and welfare, but only after taking into consideration cost-effectiveness and technical feasibility.” Despite the anger, sadness, and frustration people are feeling about this case, we at EG want to remind you to look around at the incredible solitionaries rising up. So many good things are occurring that we need to celebrate the solutions and not dabble in the losses. We are strong and remember, never stop speaking your truth. You have power to be stronger than a court ruling. It’s time for YOU to act :)
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Our EarthTracks app will NOT launch TODAY January 7th! While the delay is unexpected, it simultaneously ensures the app will come out with an even stronger bang. We are looking at 2 weeks to finish adding some of the important features that we couldn't get done in time. We want to thank our community for responding with such enthusiasm to the announcement of our new app EarthTracks, the fitbit for the planet. We are so excited to launch this cutting-edge tool to help people around the world lower their carbon footprint, the driving cause of our current climate crisis. Additionally, this app will connect our Worldwide Earth Guardians Community, helping us increase our impact by woking together on global campaigns! It’s coming together, better than ever (!), with even more incredible features, but due to unforeseen and auspicious circumstances, it is necessary to push back the formal launch by 2 weeks. We will let you know the new date of the launch as soon as it's ready. Please still feel free to share with your networks with an announcement to "Save the Date" and/or to wait until the targeted formal launch date of early February. We are working to update our marketing materials and will send you fresh content in the coming week(s). Thank you so much for your understanding and continued the support. We appreciate you and the powerful work you are doing in the world! ITS COMING!

Congratulations to our Earth Guardians Crew in Udine, Italy for their victory on saving the Alberone River! After years of struggle trying to save the river in their valley from the hydroelectric power plant, which would have greatly affected the ecology and possibly elevated the extinction of the native shrimp, the power plant was rejected and their river will remain untouched! #EarthGuardians #UdineItalyCrew #AlberoneRiverissaved #naturalhabitat #takeaction #useyourvoice #victory
