We are Youth United for Climate Crisis Action. Follow us to stay tuned for important campaign updates and actions.
This Labor Day, we’re honoring the workers and communities who carried the struggle before us: not just with parades or hashtags, but by organizing for what comes next. For a livable planet, a just transition, and a future where our communities come before profit.

Join us at yuccanm.org/join.

Labor and climate justice are deeply intertwined. The same organizing that won us rights at work is the organizing that will bring us all together – from classrooms to workplaces to the streets – to build a future beyond extraction.

And today, the same corporations exploiting our labor are the ones driving climate collapse while our communities pay the price. Record profits for them mean pennies, polluted air, and poisoned water for us.
September 1, 2025 at 4:05 PM
But the story of labor in this country is also the story of corporations and politicians doing everything they can to crush that power – from sending troops to break strikes, to passing laws that limit unions’ power, to rewriting history to erase the radical roots of this day.

These hard-fought victories are proof that when we organize, we can win big against the billionaires and systems that choose profits over our lives.
September 1, 2025 at 4:05 PM
Everything “normal” about work – the 8-hour workday, weekends, workplace safety protections – was won by organizing. These rights weren’t given to us. They were wrestled from a system built on our exploitation.

Our fight for climate justice is a fight for liberation, an end to nuclear colonialism and militarized empire, and a world where people and planet come before profit and power.

A just future is one without nuclear weapons – where land, water, and life are protected, and the oppressive systems fueling violence, extraction, and ongoing harm are dismantled.
August 6, 2025 at 3:20 PM
And now, the U.S. is expanding nuclear weapons production – with facilities like LANL at the center of this war machine – pouring billions into bombs and violence while communities from New Mexico to Japan suffer from decades of U.S. colonialism, militarism, and contamination.
August 6, 2025 at 3:20 PM
In New Mexico, we’ve seen our lands and waters poisoned, entire communities displaced, downwinders denied compensation and care, and our tax dollars poured into the development of nuclear weapons while our basic needs – like healthcare, housing, and climate resilience go unmet.
August 6, 2025 at 3:20 PM
That violence didn’t end in 1945. It lives on in systems that value power over life & in communities still carrying the harm in their bodies & lands – from Hiroshima & Nagasaki to New Mexico, where the first nuclear bomb was tested without warning & where extraction & injustice persist.

“We can’t afford climate action” is a lie told by those who benefit from keeping things exactly as they are.

The most expensive thing we can do is nothing. And that’s exactly what those in power are still doing.

The idea that we can fund clean energy, good jobs, and climate action isn’t some far-fetched fantasy.

The money is there – we’re just handing it to the fossil fuel industry instead.
July 26, 2025 at 3:17 AM
What if we stopped propping up the fossil fuel industry?

Every year, we spend trillions of dollars globally just to keep it alive - enough to fully fund a just transition.

Oh - and for every $1 spent, clean energy creates 3x more jobs than fossil fuels.

So what exactly are we waiting for?
July 26, 2025 at 3:17 AM
In 2025, the U.S. is still handing out tens of billions of dollars in fossil fuel subsidies.

Meanwhile, the needs of our communities, our families, and our young people go ignored.
July 26, 2025 at 3:17 AM
In 2024, 823 fires burned more than 82,000 acres of land in New Mexico.

But instead of investing in bold climate solutions, people in power kept funneling billions to the companies driving destruction.
July 26, 2025 at 3:17 AM
In 2023 alone, the U.S. saw 28 separate billion-dollar climate disasters, totaling over $92 billion in damages.

Meanwhile, billionaires and fossil fuel CEO’s continued to cash in – with Exxon, Chevron, Shell and BP raking in over $100 billion in profits in the same year.
July 26, 2025 at 3:17 AM
We’re done watching our futures get sold off to the highest bidder – we’re building power they can’t ignore.

No more compromise.
No more greenwashing.
No more pretending that false solutions are anything but a scam to delay real action.
July 2, 2025 at 4:10 AM
We don’t want a seat at their table.

This is about dismantling the systems that were never built to serve us.
