Related: About this forumXiuhtezcatl, the kind of endorsement that matters
to me.
Those of you have a vote, please, I'm asking you to stand for our generation, for our voices, for the people of this planet.
I don't care much about celebrity endorsements, or endorsements from politicians who don't represent me, except insofar as it reflects on the judgment of the endorser.
Xiuhtezcatl Martinez --too young to vote himself-- makes an endorsement that matters much more.

Thank you for your leadership on an issue about which you are quite right: your generation, much more than mine (I am over 70), will experience the consequences of our country's decisions regarding climate change much more than any other living generation. Your leadership on this issue and willingness to take a stand is quite admirable.
