Youth Organizing Lessons with Dominika Lasota

Welcome back, dear colleague!

In the third and final episode of “The Organizer’s Handbook,” a new podcast series from the Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health and People Power Health, guest host Pedja Stojicic sits down with Dominika Lasota, a Polish youth activist,  to explore how youth organizers and health professionals can learn from each other, communicate with plain, human language, and build a movement grounded in care, trust, and courage.

Dominika shares her journey into activism, explores how youth organizers and health professionals can learn from one another to build a stronger movement, and reflects on her vision for the future. 

What you’ll learn

• How trusted voices - clinicians can reach farther by speaking simply and telling human stories
  

• Why centering frontline communities changes priorities and outcomes
  

• The emotional cycle of activism and the shift to marathon mode with support and acceptance
  

• A practical exchange: clinicians bring care and credibility; youth bring storytelling, joy, and urgency

Bottom line: Youth organizers and health professionals need each other: simplicity + trust, joy + care, vision + craft. Start small, build together, and keep going. The world Dominika describes, safe, peaceful, joyful, is worth it.
