  Ep. 88 – A Unified Front in Activism with Jessica Dunne

  Jessica Dunne is a youth activist I met at the recent Mary Robinson Climate Conference. She has put thousands of hours into campaigning for a just future across various groups such as Fridays For Future and Young Friends of the Earth. I wanted to interview her for advice on people (young or old) looking to join the movement, and also discuss the importance of having a unified front!
