Lola Fayokun

Lola is a youth campaigner and activist whose work focuses on the climate crisis. She works heavily with the UK Student Climate Network, the grassroots network which hosts youth climate strikes in England and Wales. Her role with the network has seen her involvement in the organisation and delivery of Britain's largest climate protests in history! Lola has also been part of several educational projects and collaborative actions with groups such as Greenpeace and Green New Deal UK. Her work is centred around promoting an anti-racist vision of climate justice.

One action Lola would like you to do:

“I would love for people to join a protest movement! Any young person can start a climate strike in their area or join an existing group in their area. It is an incredible opportunity to take up space and demand political power as a young person, while developing essential skills for any budding activist, such as event promotion and protest logistics. Whether you're striking for the climate or marching for racial justice, protest is power!"
