PARIS — Earth Guardians is a self-described “tribe” of artists, activists and musicians advocating for environmental sustainability and climate change action.
Guardians Jasmina Sikora and Jaiia Cerff gave an hour-long rap concert for a crowd of 150 at the COY11 climate change event for youth today:
Earth Guardians just put on a huge crowd-pleasing hip hop performance at #COY11! Look for video footage from us later #GSS_COY11

Based in Boulder, Colorado, the Guardians are collecting signatures for a #silenceintoaction campaign, including a pledge to “join or lead actions that will build momentum” for a binding agreement at the upcoming COP21 climate change conference of governments Nov. 30 to Dec.11 in Paris.
The Guardians also are urging students around the world to walk out of their classrooms and participate in a one-day “International Climate Strike” on Monday, when COP21 is scheduled to begin.
