FireGeneration Collaborative Fundraiser

Our group is setting out to DC to change the trajectory of wildfires - and we need your help!

We as young people face the greatest long-term climate effects, and we are counted on to revitalize our communities and lands to live with fire - but we are not intimidated! We know that we need roles in policy to ensure national actions truly mobilize our generation and elevate Indigenous leadership and frontline perspectives vital for solutions. Four members of our growing national group have been invited to meet with top policymakers and agencies this month - and this fundraiser is what can get us to D.C.

We want to establish a sustained partnership on cultural, prescribed, and wildland fire policy between young people and decision-makers, to shape and scale the solutions we need. We call it the FireGeneration Collaborative. Young people in communities, campuses, and the frontlines around the country are building this vision together. We hope our message and big crazy dream resonates with you. Any help that you can give, large or small, funds our trip and our groundwork across communities. It is so appreciated and felt.

We think that as a society we must not only respond to fires - we must proactively support the solutions that can change our trajectory. And that’s what this is about. It’s why we are asking for $10,000 - we know creating real change is hard, and it means setting real goals. We need to get to DC and launch a larger movement. We also know that with help from our friends, family and larger community, there is nothing we can't do.

Please help spark this movement by donating and sharing this page far and wide!

Thank you so much for your support!

Who we are:

We are young people from around the country, firefighters, Indigenous fire practitioners, students, and supporters, vision-building in communities, schools, and the frontlines. We come from many regions and campuses, and our DC group represents that too. Our backgrounds include HBCU fire crews in the South, wilderness research labs in the Rockies, and firelines, Indigenous cultural burns, and campuses in the West.

We are united by a shared vision for transformative change.
