iMatter

"Our Climate. Our Future. Our Revolution."  The iMatter motto says it all. This non-profit youth movement for climate activism is in fact revolutionary. iMatter was born from the creative activism of Alec Loorz and his mother Victoria Loorz in 2009. Alec Loorz started 'Kids vs. Global Warmng' when he was 12 years old because he felt called to do something to stop global warming. He realized that the youth have the moral authority to demand change. As a response to the growing interest of multitudes of youth wanting to get involved in Alec's work to stand up for their future facing climate change, the now iMatter team began to strategize how to provide platforms and opportunities for the youth voice to be heard on the crisis that affects them most.

iMatter has grown, from its original community projects involving SLAP (Sea Level Awareness Project), and Alec's presentations, to global youth marches, national campaigns and legal actions. Their work now includes youth leadership training and empowerment to address the climate crisis at all levels - through grassroots actions, judicial action, and legislative action.

'Stories of TRUST:  Fighting for Climate Recovery' is an iMatter series of short documentaries.  The nine part series, co-produced by WITNESS.org, Our Children's Trust, and Montana State University, in partnership with iMatter, features young people who are impacted by the climate crisis...and are doing something about it.  The films are used to promote the creation of a comprehensive climate recovery plan and to inspire youth to tell their own stories.
