We are almost halfway to getting #indigenous #climate activist Maryam to #COP29 !

Maryam's family and people were devastated by the #flooding of 2022, and this spurred her to organize relief and rebuilding for them, so much that she managed to rehouse thousands of families sans any gov support

Just got a excited DM from her about being so close to speaking and demanding for her them at COP. Lets #GetMaryamToCop

Maryam is an indigenous Climate Activist from Balochistan, #Pakistan 's least developed region

During the mega #floods of 2022 when a third of the country went under water displacing millions, Maryam was instrumental in organizing relief efforts for her people: from evacuating families to delivering aid

and once the waters passed, she even helped rebuild homes for thousands

So we all know about structural inequalities and barriers preventing people from the #GlobalSouth accessing resources for #ClimateAction, so much so that both your flight and your hotel can be cancelled last minute by your "sponsor", locking you out of #COP29 - a barrier that has just hit Maryam Jamali

Sharing her story in the thread below:

Maryam is a hero to climate-conscious youth across #Pakistan, and has done more to inspire #ClimateAction here than anyone we know

We can personally vouch for Maryam, so much so that she was an honored guest at our #ClimateWedding last Feb, where we featured and promoted her work to our families

Maryam, is being denied a voice at #COP29, her sponsors have withdrawn both her flight and hotel barely a week before the conference.

She was literally on the ground saving her people during the catastrophic #floods of 2022, helped them rebuild after, and is at the forefront of fighting for #CimateAction for her them.

Help an #indigenous Climate Activist have her voice heard.
