Each year NC BREATHE gives young North Carolinians the opportunity to use their voices and take a stand for the environment. It brings together North Carolina influencers, policymakers, and community members who care about the earth, the air, and North Carolina. This year’s theme is “Climate Justice: Our Path to Healthier Communities.”
This panel will focus on how youth are engaging in the environmental and climate justice movement through leading and collaborating with other student-led and community-based organizations.
Mason is one of three participants selected to speak as a youth panelist.
“I’m still young, but I hope what I have to say could encourage someone or spark something in them,” said Mason.
