Rivka Schafer: How to Keep Fighting for the Climate

Abbie & Tim Steckler

When you think about the current climate crisis, do you feel like curling up in utter despair? You're not alone. That's why we were so excited to sit down with Rivka Schafer, a Gen Z climate activist with a message of hope and action that's grounded in so much practicality.  Rivka is a queer, gender non-conforming Orthodox Jew who is passionate about art, nature, and activism. As a climate activist with the Jewish Youth Climate Movement and LGBTQ+ rights advocate, Rivka definitely inspired us, and we know you'll walk away from this episode with renewed energy for climate activism (see what we did there?). Plus, learn the correct pronunciation of "Abbie," and hear both Abbie & Tim be bullied for how old they are.
