Xiuhtezcatl Martinez: the 16-year-old rapping climate activist

Most of us probably weren’t climate activists at 16 years old. We also probably weren’t capable of suing the US government at this age either. But Ximena recently spoke to someone who is both these things - his name is Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, and he is coming to New Zealand next February to give a talk about his experiences as a climate activist. Ximena had a chat to him about his lawsuit against the Obama administration, and about how he uniquely communicates his climate activism through hip-hop.
