Climate activism among California’s young people often springs from personal experience, ranging from pollution-linked health problems to the devastation of wildfires. Three young plaintiffs who are suing the Environmental Protection Agency over fossil-fuel pollution, for example, have suffered asthma and nosebleeds, been trapped at home amid rushing rain, and lost beloved childhood getaways to wildfires. Activism is a way not only to stem the effects of climate change but also to deal with the trauma, anxiety, and depression that experts say climate change can feed, especially among children and adolescents.

Background from the Chronicle: Federal Climate Funds are Plentiful – But nonprofits Should Move Quickly
Tim Ballard, who became a hero in conservative circles as the leader of an anti-human-trafficking nonprofit, faces multiple accusations of sexual assault and harassment. Ten women have told the New York Times that while they worked with Ballard, often on missions for his organization, Operation Underground Railroad, he coerced or forced them into sex acts. Sometimes those encounters included the type of people, including seemingly underage sex workers, they were supposed to be saving, some of the women said. Ballard, the subject of the hit movie “Sound of Freedom” last year, denies the allegations, which have resulted in six pending lawsuits. He stepped down from Operation Underground Railroad last year “as concerns about his conduct began percolating.” (New York Times)
