Today’s Feature Friday is: Nyombi Morris, Climate Activist. “Nyombi Morris (born March 28, 1998) is a Ugandan environmental activist who is known for promoting and advocating for climate justice and gender equality. Morris’s activism began when he asked world leaders and polluters to adopt climate change based on the devastating rains and floods in Uganda.”
“Nyombi Morris is my Social Justice Hero because he displays the bravery needed to fight for an end to climate change. He fervently speaks out on the effects of climate change which contribute to extreme poverty. He inspires many people and collaborates with others to create actions made by many to make big changes. He promotes smart ideas that would solve extreme poverty. For example he posted, “If tax went up to 5% for billionaires and multi-millionaires, we could raise $1.7 trillion a year… This could lift 2 billion people out of poverty.” Nyombi posts relevant information and photos that tells the story of people in extreme poverty being displaced from their homes. He does the work that will save the lives of many. He speaks for those who do not have a voice. I am inspired and look forward to seeing the bright future of this GLOBAL HERO!”
