Fighting for climate justice with Youth Verdict - a podcast by Amy McMurtrie, Anya Saravanan, Ayan Shirwa, Emma Hart, and Iris Lee

In this episode, we're joined by two of the co-directors of Youth Verdict, a youth-led climate activist group that just defeated Clive Palmer’s planned Waratah Coal mine, to talk about their victory and the importance of centring First Nations cultural rights and human rights in climate justice work. Murrawah Johnson is a Wirdi woman, co-director and First Nations program lead at Youth Verdict. Monique Jeffs is a white settler based in Meanjin, and is one of Youth Verdict’s original founders. You can keep up to date with Youth Verdict’s work on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Note: The podcast features an extended version of our on-air conversation with Murrawah and Monique, with an extra 10 minutes of discussion about the importance of First Nations-led climate action!
