The moms fighting for climate justice

Chelsea had always dreamed of having children, but the challenges of 2020 made her reconsider. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, social unrest, and wildfires in Portland, Oregon, where she lives, the world seemed unsafe and unstable for bringing a child into. The increasing impact of climate change on health and family planning decisions has led some to opt out of having kids altogether, while others are fighting for a safe and sustainable environment for future generations. Groups like Mothers Out Front are advocating for climate reparations to ensure a stable future for children. The health risks posed by climate change, such as preterm births and infertility, are driving mothers to take action in fighting against climate change impacts. Despite concerns about the environment, some, like Chelsea, have decided to have children, hoping for a positive change in the future.
