Today, we are crowning climate activist Alexandria Villaseñor as our #QueenoftheWeek 👑

Born in Davis, California and raised in New York, Villaseñor’s passion for climate activism began at just 13 years old. While visiting her hometown in November 2018, she was caught in a smoke cloud from the California Camp Fire, one of the deadliest wildfires in the state’s history. Because of her asthma, she became ill after the fire and spent her recovery time researching climate change and temperature rises that contributed to the severity of the fire. Not long after, Villaseñor joined her local chapter of ZeroHero, a group of American youth climate activists. 

In December 2018, Villaseñor started a climate strike in solidarity with the Fridays for Future movement in front of the United Nations Headquarters, and the strike continued weekly for over two years. During this time, she also co-founded the U.S. Youth Climate Strike movement and deepened her research and understanding of the climate crisis. Wanting to provide more education and support to young activists, Villaseñor founded Earth Uprising International, a youth-led organization focused on climate education and advocacy, on Earth Day in 2019.

She has addressed the United Nations, NATO, and the 2020 Democratic National Convention and has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The New Yorker for her work. She was named one of Seventeen’s 2020 Voices of the Year and has received both the Earth Day Network Youth Leadership Award and the Rachel Carson Environmental Justice Award. Now, she is continuing her education at Harvard University. 

Thank you, Queen, for advocating for environmental justice and empowering youth activists 💜 #SIXBroadway #SIXUSTour
