In this eighth episode of The Imperfect Activist, we zoom in on what it means to make change where you are. From grassroots organising in Devon, UK to youth-led movements like Green New Deal Rising, we explore how local action can connect to the bigger fights for climate justice and political transformation. Youth campaigner Holly Gillett joins Natasha to share her journey - from community campaigns, to standing for local council, to challenging national parties on their climate failures. Together, we unpack what it looks like to bridge protest and politics, and why small, local wins matter in the context of global crises. Because being ‘activist’ isn’t about having all the answers - it’s about showing up, experimenting, and growing movements in our communities, even when the politics feels stacked against us.
