Our Story

Defend Our Future was founded to empower young people to educate their peers about climate change and to organize for federal action on climate. 

From Arizona to Pennsylvania and many places in between, we have trained and worked with thousands of students on college campuses to call for federal action on climate. 

Originally founded by the Environmental Defense Fund, Defend Our Future is now powered by the Climate Action Campaign. We continue to work with young people to reduce climate pollution and accelerate the transition to clean energy in ways that support justice, jobs, improved health and quality of life for all.

Our Climate Campus Ambassador program offers college students the opportunity to learn valuable leadership skills, work with other inspiring young people and make a concrete difference on climate change.

Defend Our Beer

One of Defend Our Future’s signature events revolves around beer. We’ve organized dozens of events where young people can hear from local brewers about how climate change is impacting the taste and price of beer, and how beer lovers can unite behind solutions to Defend Our Beer.
