Change 101 | Chris Avila | TEDxBeaverCountryDaySchool

How do you make change? This talk is about the first steps towards becoming a better changemaker, whether it's in your school, your town meeting, your Governor’s office, or your nation’s capital. Drawing from his personal experiences organizing on the Biden campaign and working for Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) on climate policy in D.C., Chris explains how to tell if change is possible and how to maximize your impact. Finally, he implores you to start small and start now. Chris Avila studies chemistry and political economy at Williams College. His background in hard science, interest in law and policy, and understanding of the justice implications of climate change has compelled him to pursue public service on climate action, with a particular focus on environmental justice. He worked on the Biden campaign as both an organizer and a policy analyst; he currently works for Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) on climate policy, and he is the 2020 Harry S. Truman Scholar from Delaware. Chris also enjoys running cross country and track competitively and building community by facilitating storytelling events. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
