Jamie Margolin is a climate change activist in Seattle, Washington.[2] In 2017, Margolin founded the youth climate action organization Zero Hour with Nadia Nazar[3] when she was 15.[4] She serves as the co-executive director of the organization.[5] She started Zero Hour after two catalysts - the response she saw with Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico and the destruction there[6] and how difficult it was to breathe in Seattle after there were Canadian wildfires.[7] She is also a plaintiff in the Aji P. v. Washington case, suing the state of Washington for their inaction against climate change on the basis of a stable climate being a human right.[6][8] Her writing about climate change has appeared in many publications including HuffPost[1], Teen Ink[2] and CNN[3]. She was part of Teen Vogue’s 21 Under 21 class of 2018.[9] In 2018, she was also named as one of People Magazine's 25 Women Changing the World.[10][11] Margolin is a member of the Junior State of America.[12]
