Iris Zhan

She is the Founder of Sunrise Movement Howard County an organization to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs in the process.

In the Sunrise Movement Howard County On website they say:

We are ordinary young people who are scared about what the climate crisis means for the people and places we love. We are gathering in classrooms, living rooms, and worship halls across the country. Everyone has a role to play. Public opinion is already with us – if we unite by the millions we can turn this into political power and reclaim our democracy.

We are not looking to the right or left. We look forward. Together, we will change this country and this world, sure as the sun rises each morning.

Zhan says that she got involved in climate justice because “the climate crisis is the culmination of all the important issues that directly threaten my future. The climate crisis is at the root of all our problems.”

For her, focusing on this issue is key to all of our survival. “The climate crisis shows how connected our world is. If biodiversity fails, so do we, and we have to fight for a livable future.”
