Jamie Margolin is a climate justice activist and co-executive director of @thisiszerohour, a youth climate action organization based in Seattle, Washington. In 2017, at age 15, Margolin founded Zero Hour with Nadia Nazar. She serves as the co-executive director of the organization. Zero Hour was founded in reaction to the response Jamie witnessed following Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico and her personal experience during the 2017 Washington wildfires. She has garnered notoriety as a plaintiff in the Aji P. v. Washington case, suing the state of Washington for their inaction against climate change on the basis of a stable climate being a human right. Her writing about climate change has appeared in many publications including HuffPost, Teen Ink, and CNN. She was part of Teen Vogue’s 21 Under 21 and one of People Magazine's 25 Women Changing the World in 2018. Margolin is also a member of the Junior State of America. Young people around the world have drawn inspiration from Zero Hour — most notably Greta Thunberg. Thunberg, then a 15-year-old high school student in Sweden, read about Zero Hour’s day of action online. A month later, she began her Fridays For Future school strike campaign, protesting outside Sweden’s parliament every week. The strike movement spread across Europe and the world, becoming a key part of today’s wave of youth climate activism. #RickFraustoFineArt Jamie Margolin Drawing, 2020 #originaldrawing on archival paper Dimensions: 6 X 9 inches · · · #JamieMargolin #ThisIsZeroHour #ClimateJustice #ActivistArt #ART #Artivist #ArtForSocialJustice #VisualActivism #ClimateStrike #JamieMargolinQuotes #YouthRising #Power #powerfulwomen #QuoteOfTheDay #ArtOfTheDay #illustration #illustrateyourworld #FridaysForFuture #extinctionrebellion #insta_artgallery #artcollective #blackandwhite #imaginationarts #InspiredByNature #ClimateCollapse #climatejusticenow #Tribute #Portrait (at Seattle, Washington State, U.S.A) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8cEmdBpvaI/?igshid=xfpnp6qk5ssv
