Unyielding: Youth Activist Isa Alvidrez on Climate Advocacy in Rural Alabama
In this episode, we sit down with 17-year-old Isa Alvidrez, a tenacious climate activist dedicated to advancing sustainability in her conservative Alabama hometown. Despite a lack of support—and often outright opposition—from her community and school administration, Isa continues her efforts, undeterred. She shares what it's like to be a climate activist surrounded by skeptics, and reflects on the irony of her town's deep appreciation for nature but distrust of climate science. She also opens up about her unique strategy for engaging climate deniers and the meaningful changes she’s already implemented in her community.
Isa’s story captures the grit and determination of young advocates everywhere fighting for change in the face of resistance—especially when that resistance comes from a school administration that prioritizes new football fields over recycling bins.
